COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A deputy working security at a South Carolina gun show fatally shot someone who shot at him Saturday, authorities said.
The Lexington County deputy underwent surgery and is in stable condition, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
The sheriff’s office has not released any additional information about the shooting at Jamil Temple, where the South Carolina Arms Collector Association was holding a gun and knife show. The group did not immediately respond to an email and phone call seeking comment.
According to the gun show’s rules, posted on its website, loaded weapons are prohibited except for on-duty police officers, and all weapons must be secured.
Jamil Temple is owned by the Shriners and is frequently rented for gun shows, jewelry shows, roller derbies and other events.
