A 79‑year‑old man, Larry Brown, has been arrested in Richland County, South Carolina, after a Tuesday shooting on Goodwin Way in Columbia.
What happened
- The Richland County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD) responded about noon to the 300 block of Goodwin Way on a reported shooting.
- Deputies found a victim with a gunshot wound to the lower body, who was taken to a hospital; authorities have not released further details on the victim’s condition.
Suspect and charges
- RCSD detained Brown near the scene as he was trying to leave and later booked him into the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.
- He faces charges of attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime; investigators say Brown and the victim knew each other and that an argument reportedly led to the shooting.
If you want, I can also help explain what those two charges generally carry in South Carolina (typical penalties, bond chances, etc.).
