One man is in jail and another is in a hospital after a recent shooting in Columbia, according to the Richland County Sheriff’s Department.
Marshaun Robinson, 40, was charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and felon in possession of a weapon, the sheriff said in a news release Sunday.
According to the press release, the charges are related to a shooting on Friday evening.
Around 11 p.m., deputies responded to reports of a shooting in the 1200 block of Metze Road, the sheriff’s department said. That’s in the part of Columbia between Broad River Road and Interstate 26.
Officers were told about a possible shooter, later identified as Robinson, according to the release. Robinson drove away in a vehicle when he was stopped and questioned, police said.
While officers were questioning Robinson, they learned about a possible victim inside a building, who was found and taken to a local hospital, according to the release. Information about the victim’s condition was not available.
Officers determined that Robinson and the victim were co-workers on Metze Road who were involved in a brief conversation when Robinson fired multiple shots, striking the victim, the sheriff’s department said. The victim then shot back in self-defense, the release said.
Robinson was also taken to a local hospital for the injuries he suffered, but was medically cleared and subsequently booked into the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center, the sheriff’s department said.
Bond was set at $290,000 on the combined charges and Robinson remains behind bars, jail records show.
