A homeowner shot and killed a teenage girl during a home invasion in Clover Thursday morning. The shooter’s cousins say it was self-defense.
"They busted in the door, they got what they deserved,” said a cousin who didn’t give his name.
The back door of the house on Highway 55 in Clover was damaged from where the cousins say two people forced their way inside.
The homeowner fired at them and killed 17-year-old Christina Sayers, from Lake Wylie.
The homeowner didn’t want to talk, but people who identified themselves as his cousins had plenty to say.....

John Berryhill said when he heard about the shooting, he rushed to home of his cousin, 19-year-old Cody Millwood, on West Highway 55 and found Millwood in tears.
"I was like, 'Man, is it true?'" Berryhill said. "And he was like, 'I just shot two people,' and he was like, 'I don't know exactly who I shot,' but he had blood all over him."
Police would only confirm to Channel 9 that one person was shot and that they were searching for at least two other suspects.
Berryhill said Millwood had been receiving threats from a group of people, though he did not know why.
"They told him they were going to come kick in his door and kill him and his mom," Berryhill said.....
