A 62-year-old Greer homeowner died as a result of a shootout with a woman who attempted to rob him at gunpoint at his front door, authorities said Tuesday evening.
Greer Police Lt. Jim Holcombe said officers responded to a 911 call at 9:18 a.m. Monday at 203 Pelham St., and found two people with gunshot wounds inside the residence.
“The investigation revealed that the homeowner answered the door at his residence, and the suspect asked for some money. When the victim refused to give her any money, she pulled a gun and he (then) pulled a gun,” according to a written statement from the Greer Police Department.
The Greenville County Coroner's Office identified the homeowner as Douglas J. Burgess Jr. Burgess died as a result of a single gunshot wound to the chest, Greenville County Deputy Coroner Kent Dill said via phone. Burgess was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect, identified as Tamika Yvette Weatherspoon, 34, was transported to Greenville Memorial Hospital, where she died in surgery at 10:32 a.m. Monday. Her last known address was 101 Tremont Ave. in Greer. An autopsy revealed she died as a result of a single gunshot wound to an upper leg, Dill said.

Please, friends, never open your door. Tell your friends to call you from outside if they show up unannounced.
Gosh, I haven't hunted wild boars either but I had no idea it could be obvious.
Its called the femoral artery and you can bleed out from it in less than 60 seconds.
You bring up some good points. Maybe a strategery would have worked better, then shoot her.
Could have been the surgeon's vain attempt to find the heart of a Heartless Bi**ch.
Black on white crime yet again.
Black criminals like to target whites as they think they don’t carry guns. Glad this one figured wrong. Just wish the criminal died instead.
Dude you have large arteries and veins in your leg. You can bleed out in a little over a minute, enough to lose consciousness and then die.
I don’t discriminate between Amish or English at my house. If I don’t know you, you’re getting scoped out.
Tamika?
Do I even have to ask?
Well.. you did and your answer is above.
JAF0V...
I think it was Sean Taylor, a Washington Redskins defender, who was shot in the leg during a robbery. He bled out before help could get to him.
Did you see Blackhawk Down? There was a scene in the movie like that. Any hit to any artery will result in a massive loss of blood.
Another one of 0dumb0shit’s & Holder’s people from “da hood”! No surprise there!
She did.
How sad. Just when Tamika was turning her life around.

Is that a favorite tactic of wild boar? Where to they get the guns?
