There was another shooting this past weekend at a nightclub and I’m betting you haven’t heard about it. The shooter managed to hit 3 people and almost hit a fourth person. He’s being charged with attempted murder. Fortunately the three people he shot will be ok.
But here’s why the media hasn’t told you about it. The man only shot 3 people because another man in the nightclub who he almost hit was armed! He had a concealed carry permit and shot the shooter in the leg, bringing him down.
WISTTV – Deputies with Spartanburg County said a man faces multiple attempted murder charges after opening fire outside a nightclub early Sunday morning.
Deputies said 32-year-old Jody Ray Thompson pulled out a gun after getting into an argument with another man and fired several rounds toward a crowd that had gathered out in front of the club.
“His rounds struck three 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.
Bobo said the man who shot Thompson has a valid concealed weapons permit, cooperated with investigators, and won’t be facing any charges.
“Thompson was still on the scene when deputies arrived, but the initial scene was chaotic,” Bobo said. “It wasn’t until victims and witnesses were interviewed, and video from the scene was reviewed that Thompson was identified as the suspect.”
Thompson was charged with four counts of attempted murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, and unlawful carrying of a weapon.
Bobo said none of the victims’ injuries were life-threatening.
A good guy with a guy stopped a bad guy with a gun, so the media isn’t interested in this story. And that’s why you haven’t heard about it from the media.
