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.

I suspect the bullet hit her in the fermoral artery. A person can “bleed-out” PDQ from that artery.
