Man Shot During Home Invasion - Suspects Escape After 2 Hour Standoff With The SWAT Team
One man was shot and a woman and baby escaped during a home invasion this morning in the Gantt community (near Greenville, SC), which led to a two-hour standoff that ended with a SWAT team storming the home in search of two suspects only to find no one inside. At about 9:30 a.m., authorities received a call about a home invasion at 430 South Fairfield Road off U.S. 25 a few miles from the Donaldson Center. Two men reportedly entered the home, demanded money and shot one of the occupants as a woman and a 1-year-old baby escaped. The home invaders remain at large. More information here.
