SC: Robbery goes awry when resident shoots first: "The incident began at about 11:25 p.m. at a home on Polk Street where four men playing video games heard a knock at the door, according to a Beaufort Police Department news release. When they answered, two men wearing bandanas over their faces, one armed with a rifle and the other with a handgun, burst through the door, the release said. One of the home's guests quickly grabbed a pistol and opened fire on the intruders, said Police Chief Matt Clancy. The suspects were later identified as Darryl James Pryor, 25, and Lucas Morgan, 24, of St. Helena Island, according to the release. Soon after the shooting, members of the sheriff's K-9 Tracking Team arrested Morgan after they found him hiding in a wooded area near the Applebee's restaurant on Boundary Street, according to a sheriff's report. The 22-year-old Beaufort man who shot Pryor is unlikely to be charged, Clancy said."

OK: Domestic Dispute Ends In Gunfire: "Police have arrested a man they say crashed into his ex-girlfriend's home, but found himself staring down the barrel of a gun Wednesday morning. It happened around eight o'clock near 11th Street between Sheridan and Memorial. Police say the victim's ex-boyfriend had been terrorizing her all night and arrived at her home, where he used his car to ram her parked SUV. "He hit the SUV as kind of a way to get her attention, to get back at her," says Officer James McClaughry. "Then, he backed his vehicle up, pulled forward and then ended up driving into the front porch where she was standing and she used the handgun to try to defend herself." No one was hurt in the altercation. Video from NewsChannel 8 photojournalist James Puckett shows two bullet holes from the woman's 9-millimeter handgun in the hood of the suspect's vehicle."
