William Bryant, 45, was shot and killed inside his Okatie, South Carolina home on March 30, 2015. The shooting occurred in the Sun City Hilton Head residence he shared with his mother and grandmother; an autopsy found he died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Beaufort County investigators reported that Bryant, described as 6 feet 5 inches and 230 pounds, had been acting aggressively and had made recent threats toward his mother and his 91-year-old grandmother. At about 7:20 a.m. he was reportedly attempting to force his way into his grandmother’s bedroom when his mother, Marilou Bryant, intervened and fired, striking him multiple times.

After processing the scene on Raven Glass Lane and interviewing witnesses, the Sheriff’s Office, with the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, concluded Marilou Bryant had acted in defense of another person and announced no criminal charges would be filed. Does anyone have information about the household or what led up to that morning?
