WT: A South Carolina man is facing multiple attempted murder charges after he opened fire on a crowd gathering outside a nightclub early Sunday, police said.
Deputies with Spartanburg County said 32-year-old Jody Ray Thompson pulled out an illegally carried firearm during an argument with another man and fired several rounds toward a crowd outside Playoffz nightclub in Lyman, a local NBC News affiliate reported.
“His rounds struck 3 victims, and almost struck a fourth victim, who in self-defense, pulled his own weapon and fired, striking Thompson in the leg,” Lt. Kevin Bobo said. more
Drop him into a deep, dark hole and throw away the key.
Thank you Mr. Concealed Weapon!
But please, next time – aim a little higher?
Two in the chest one in the head.
Who shoots in the legs?
Go to the range and practice more but at least you did
something.
We can’t have law abiding citizens interfering in a mass shooting. That kind of meddling could add credence to NRA arguments.
Self defense is “taking the law into your own hands.”
Indeed.
He should have had his head blown clean off.
In defense of the defensive shooter, it is hard to find the right circumstances to practice your marksmanship while somebody is shooting at you and trying to kill you. Adrenalin does bad things to fine motor control.
If you’re not going to shoot to kill, at least shoot the perp in the nads! By the way, was this story covered by NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN?
Tell my again why all black lives matter?
4 wounded and nobody dead?
Them’s some no shootin’ folks.
Back when I was sellin’ bullets the white boys wanted to know how much they tore up, the black boys wanted to know how much they cost. I sold a lot of shit Blazer that way.
Sideways shootin’, don’t work so good.
I have had handguns come in for repair: “When was the last time you shot it?”
“Bout tree year.” Obviously hadn’t been cleaned since then.
Smelled of buttcrack, not Hoppes.
If he was concerned about accidently shooting others at the scene, he may have aimed low on purpose. Unfortunately, a bit too low.
Tony R No. Silence. They don’t report “good” shootings. Scumbags!
