Orangeburg County

Sheriff’s Office

An Orangeburg man is recovering from a gunshot wound to the leg, according to a sheriff’s office incident report.

Deputies responded to the Regional Medical Center at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

The man told the deputies that he was laying down inside his home when someone called him on the phone yelling about the man disrespecting his grandfather.

The man ended the call and in about five minutes, the caller showed up in front of his house, the incident report states.

The man told deputies that he walked outside. He and the caller began to argue about the grandfather again, the report states.

The man said he took off his shirt and told the caller to fight.

The caller pulled a handgun out of his right pocket and threatened to shoot the man’s brains out, the report said.

Instead, he allegedly shot the man’s leg instead.
