North Charleston police said that an armed man who tried to rob a home on Ranger Drive on Thursday was killed during a shootout with the tenant. The coroner says the suspect was 25-year-old Demario Brown from Johns Island.

Police said officers responded to the scene after a call about shots being fired.

Police say Brown, who was armed, forced two women into the home to rob them. Police say a tenant who was already inside the house, had a gun and shot Brown. Brown also fired back hitting Timothy King. King was transported to MUSC. Police say he had non-life threatening injuries. Brown died at the scene.

4. My God

another person used a firearm for self-defense!!!! That armed misguided criminal only wanted "things"!!! He wasn't going to hurt anyone!!!! Even if he did hurt/kill someone it isn't his fault, its the guns fault!!!! We need to place MORE restrictions on people who buy guns LEGALLY!!!!

6. Wonder how things would have turned out had the tennant not had a gun.

I'm not a big gun supporter, but for self-defense, there is no question.

I hope charges won't be filed against the woman who protected herself from this criminal.

Hope it deters others.

This was just a few miles from me.
