Hours after he and another inmate escaped jail after beating up a security guard, a South Carolina inmate was fatally shot after he broke into a woman’s house, officials said.

Bruce McLaughlin Jr., 30, was shot in the head by the woman after he kicked in her back door on Tuesday, according to Pickens County authorities.

After he entered the home, McLaughlin grabbed a knife sharpening tool from the kitchen and headed toward the woman’s bedroom around 3 a.m. Sheriff Rick Clark said the woman was home alone and had undergone concealed weapons training at some point prior to the incident.

"This was a big guy. If she hadn't had a weapon there's no telling what would have happened," the sheriff said. "I gave her a big hug. I told her how proud I was of her."

It coulda been worse. Maybe he was going to polish her toenails with setting #3.....

Say that looks like cutting edge technology.

Now we see the problem. He forgot these:

Dumb criminals.

No stocking stuffers for him.

Pickens County SC.

You should just EXPECT to be shot during a B&E there.

Yes. There's the upper spine, too--a very slim target.

Yes, a happy ending... but some liberal judge will have the jerk out walking the streets within a year or two. The next woman might not be as lucky...

This woman’s a hero but she needs target practice.

Hope his brain matter didn’t mess up her floor. She calls her insurer and says, “I broke a cracker on my wall-to-wall.”
