Like many people Dorothy Hendrix refused to be run out of her home or neighborhood.  Despite a previous armed home invasion / robbery.   A second time victimized, this time the thugs killed her – but not before she was able to shoot one in the stomach.  She shot one thug but was shot twice and killed by another.
SOUTH CAROLINA – A 76-year-old woman was killed in a shootout with attempted robbers outside her South Carolina home early on Saturday morning.
“She fought. She was a fighter. She shot him,” the victim’s brother, Ronnie Lollis, told local news.
Dorothy Hendrix returned home at about 1am when two armed men and one woman approached her attempting to rob her, coroner Greg Shore said.
Hendrix pulled out a gun and fired at the suspects, and one of them returned fire, hitting her twice. One neighbor reported the gunshots to police.

Hendrix, known as “Dot” to friends and family, managed to shoot one of the intruders in the stomach before she died at the scene. The other two suspects ran off.
The wounded suspect was taken to the hospital for surgery, Shore said. The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office said they will release more details after they interview him.
Deputies said they are investigating whether a vehicle found near Airline Road and Rayben Lane with a broken windshield may have been involved.
“She helped anybody, you didn’t have to ask for it she helped anybody that needed help,” Lollis told NBC 14 News.
Lollis said this wasn’t the first time Hendrix was attacked. In October 2011, deputies said Hendrix was at the same home when she became the victim of an armed robbery, a case which has not yet been solved.  (continue reading)
