Two Augusta parents have been charged with murder, for the death of their 1-year-old son, Travis Scott.

Their son died at Augusta University Medical Center on Feb. 13.

An 82-year-old Vietnam War veteran beat an armed home invader to death with the butt end of a shotgun to protect his 79-year-old wife after the invader attacked her in their home in South Carolina on Monday.
According to local authorities, Herbert Parrish grabbed the gun off a wall mount when the suspect, later identified at 61-year-old Harold Runnels, forcibly entered his home wielding a knife. Runnels knocked Parrish’s wife, Lois, to the ground and sliced her forehead in the attack, Fox 57 reported.
“I felt, we’re gone. He’s going to kill us and take what he can take,” Parrish told the local news outlet. “He was not going to go out that door and leave us alive. That’s the way I felt. That’s why I said, I’ve got to do something quick and get the edge on him. Get the advantage on him.”
