James Donnelly says officers arrived at the scene within four minutes and found the homeowner present and another party laying on the ground outside of the residence. <\/p>\n<p>Deputy Coroner Jeff Fowler has identified the deceased man as 51-year-old John Michael Ferrell, also of Simpsonville.<\/p>\n<p>Simpsonville investigators said Ferrell was the estranged husband of someone staying at the home.  There were family members of the estranged wife and one non-relative in the home, according to police.<\/p>\n<p>The homeowner told police that he shot the subject after he attacked him and broke into his residence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Elsewhere in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myrtlebeachonline.com\/2015\/01\/24\/4747148_police-man-74-opens-fire-at-burglar.html?rh=1\">South Carolina<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Shortly before midnight, the man who lives in the Mashie Drive home said he was watching television when he heard a loud noise. Thinking it was his 69-year-old wife, the man went to check on her. When he realized she was fine, he went to the bedroom and grabbed his revolver while his wife called police.<\/p>\n<p>As he walked through the house, the man saw a hand reaching through broken glass trying to unlock the rear kitchen door. The man then fired two shots through the top of the door and heard a scream. He later saw the burglar get into a vehicle and leave. Police found drops of blood near the back entrance to the home.<\/p>\n<p>Early Saturday, officials identified the suspect as 54-year-old David Allen Waters Jr., according to a police department news release. Waters is wanted on a first-degree burglary charge&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to Chief Tango for the links.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Folks have been hard at work turning their lives around this past weekend, especially in South &hellip; <a title=\"Monday morning feel good stories\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=57863\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Monday morning feel good stories<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40242,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[218],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feel-good-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/40242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
