GREENVILLE, S.C. — Authorities in South Carolina say a Greenville man mistook his daughter for a potential intruder and killed her.

County Coroner Parks Evans says the gunfire fatally wounded 23-year-old Nadeja Jermainequa Pressley, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

An autopsy is set for Monday. The case remains under investigation.
