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.

Self Defense is a Basic Human Right. It's great that the guy in the house was not charged for shooting in self defense. I'd like to see that happen all the time!

But ABC News has said it is impossible to defend oneself with a gun! It just doesn’t work!

Yes, it is, isn’t it.

It’s not our fault they can’t master the art of breath, aim, fire, without shooting themselves in the mouth.

Everyone knows that Demario is a Han Chinese name.

That’s the Second Amendment Sister’s only issue: Self defense is a basic human right.
