COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) -
Deputies say a man is dead after the motel clerk he tried to sexually assault and rob early Monday morning fought back and killed him.
Investigators say 43-year-old Vincent Carson of Orangeburg entered a Days Inn motel at 133 sometime before 6:00 a.m.
As the female clerk went into the breakfast room to prepare breakfast, she found Carson waiting inside. The victim said Carson held a knife to her throat and said, "This is a robbery."
Investigators said when her attacker slipped the knife into his pants pocket to begin tying her up with plastic ties, the woman pulled a handgun from under her shirt, turned, and fired into the man's chest at point blank range.
Deputies say the victim was about 100 pounds lighter than Carson and stood at least a foot shorter than him.
When deputies got to the scene, they found the suspect unresponsive on the floor. Richland County Coroner Gary Watts said Carson died from a single gunshot to the chest.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said Carson's intent was not only to rob the motel, but also to rape the clerk.

When deputies got to the scene, they found the suspect unresponsive on the floor. Sounds like a straightforward case of lead poisoning. Tsk, tsk. He shouldn't be eating toys from China, or licking the paint off the walls. Probably suicide, poor fellow. Well nothing to see here, move along...

...to begin tying her up with plastic ties... ...Carson's intent was not only to rob the motel, but also to rape the clerk.
Where's that venerable advice to just cooperate with the criminal in order to avoid injury?

Indeed. The miscreant must have had some powerful Viagra. He’s dead and thats a good thing. The 2nd. Amendment, the best rape prevention in the world.

I would hope that our current House has as much intestinal fortitude as she did.

Sheriff Lott says this was an unfortunate situation in which the victim feared for her life and defended herself. "Unfortunate" is not the word I would have used. More like "joyous", "festive", or "gleeful".
