South Carolina veteran uses butt of his shotgun to kill home intruder who attacked his wife

Vietnam vet Herbert Parrish, 82, pummeled home invader who had slashed his wife with a knife
By Michael Ruiz | Fox News



A South Carolina armed home invader who attacked a 79-year-old woman near her back door is dead after the victim’s 82-year-old Vietnam War veteran husband beat him down with the butt end of a shotgun earlier this week, according to local authorities.

Herbert Parrish snatched the firearm off a wall mount after the suspect, identified as 61-year-old Harold Runnels, broke into the home with a knife, knocked his wife to the ground and slashed her forehead Monday afternoon, Columbia, S.C.-based FOX 57 reported.

He lived in a nearby mobile home community, according to WJBF-TV, and approached by knocking on the back door and asking if the couple had seen a missing dog.
A South Carolina armed home invader who attacked a 79-year-old woman near her back door is dead after the victim’s 82-year-old Vietnam War veteran husband beat him down with the butt end of a shotgun earlier this week.

Runnels later died at a hospital due to injuries suffered in the scuffle, according to authorities.

Aiken County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Eric Abdullah, a department spokesman, said residents should call 911 immediately if they suspect their home is being broken into.

"Of course, folks have the right to defend themselves if their lives are in danger, but the best thing to do is to call for help," he told the Aiken Standard newspaper. "Every situation is going to be different. It may be a similar crime in nature, but every situation is going to be different. There’s no way to accurately predict exactly what actions that any person should take if somebody is trying to invade their home. The best recourse is to think smartly and get help on the way."



The Parrishes were not being charged. They were both treated for minor injuries but were expected to be OK.

By the time the police arrive in 5-10 minutes both couple could be dead. He did the right thing. Besides what's the man going to say to the intruder, can you stop while i call the police.

Aiken County Sheriff has to be a democrat. Don't celebrate the fact that these folk defended themselves successfully; tell everyone that when you need help in the next 10 seconds that the cops are only 4 minutes away!

I like Sheriff Grady Judd’s advice more. I bet it works better too

Dude’s a badass. Good for him. Did the right thing.

Not sure why it has to be politicized two posts in.


“Aiken County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Eric Abdullah, a department spokesman, said residents should call 911 immediately if they suspect their home is being broken into.”

It was already beyond this point.


"Every situation is going to be different. It may be a similar crime in nature, but every situation is going to be different.

He thought smartly and acted accordingly. Play stupid games...

Democrats tend to be liberals and liberals tend to be anti-gun. My brother, whom I love dearly, is a crazy liberal. Oddly enough, he is also retired Army infantry?

We got into it last weekend when the subject of self defense came up and he thought escalating to using a firearm in a fight was a ***** move. I asked him why we allowed the police to have them? Then shit got real.

Excellent. Bad guy's day sure didn't work out as he expected; I hope he suffered greatly & realized the errors of his ways as he was being beaten to death.

That advice is quite laughable. If somebody is trying to invade your home, they ain't doing it with good intentions for you. It would be silly to try and analyze it as anything different. Even if you have time to think and dial 911 the first thing one should do before that is make sure their gun is in their hand and ready to fire. Invaders are not known to be polite and wait for you to finish your phone call to 911.

Speaking to your point of every situation is different, with home invasion how different could it be. The invader is either planning to harm you or take your shit. There really aren't any other plausible intentions.

Show of hands...who doesn't have a weapon pre-staged next to every door? This story highlights exactly why that is a valid thing.

To be clear, that is not my advise. That’s from the office of Aiken county sheriff Mike Hunt. My comments to that advise is posted below (It was already beyond this point. He thought smartly and acted accordingly. Play stupid games...).

I’m pretty sure Aiken is a red county despite commentary from another poster.

I concur with your comments 100.

*Raises hand* Just a little bit of overkill for me. I think one can adequately protect themselves without turning their home into a gun locker.

I keep a loaded pistol in the bedroom. My wife knows how to use it and if any SOB breaks in I believe in shoot first ask questions later.
