Wire reporting: (AP, via The Philadelphia Inquirer)
A Lexington County deputy working security at a gun show in Columbia, South Carolina, fatally shot a person who fired on the deputy Saturday, the sheriff's office said, according to the Associated Press2.
The deputy was taken into surgery and was in stable condition, the office said in a statement cited by AP2.
The shooting was at the Jamil Temple, where the South Carolina Arms Collector Association was holding a gun and knife show; the sheriff's office did not release further details, AP reported, and the association did not immediately respond to AP2.
AP said the show's posted rules ban loaded weapons except for on-duty police officers and require weapons to have their actions secured, and that the temple, owned by the Shriners, is often rented for events2.
WIS, citing the Lexington County Sheriff's Department, said there was no ongoing threat to the public3. WIS said a patron shot the deputy, who returned fire and fatally hit the suspect, and that the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division will investigate under standard procedure3.
WIS said drivers near Jamil Road and St. Andrews Road should expect delays while the scene remained active3. The Philadelphia Inquirer, KSAT, ClickOrlando, ClickOnDetroit, Local 10 and KTLA carried the AP report1,4,5,6,7,8.
