SPARTANBURG, S.C. The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office says a man attempting to rob a local Waffle House at gunpoint was shot and killed by a customer carrying a concealed weapon.
Lt. Tony Ivey says two men entered the restaurant early Saturday morning and at least one was carrying a handgun. A customer with a concealed weapons permit drew his gun, and fired when one of the suspects pointed the weapon at him.
Spartanburg County Coroner Charles Clevenger identified the dead man as Dante Lamont Williams of Roebuck, who turned 19 years old on Saturday.
The second suspect fled the restaurant after Williams was shot. Ivey says it's not clear if the other person was wounded in the shooting.
No customers or employees were hurt in the incident.

Dante looks a little cross-eyed. I doubt he could have shot the broad side of a barn!
Is that photo before or after he was shot to death?
Another win for the good guys. May this scum enjoy the fires of hell forever. I hope his mother cries everynight, but I doubt she cares for anything but her next crack fix.
Gonna happen uptown one night. Honest folks are getting tired of this crap. Another POS taken care of.
They'll be wailin' and cryin' at the A.M.E. Zion, I guess.
Dude looks a few genes short of human. Tough way to leave the planet.
Happy friggin' birthday to him!!!
I hope someone posts a photo of this thugs corpse showing the left side of his head blown out.
