According to Holly Hill Police investigators, employee Heriberto Feliciano was locking up the restaurant when he was attacked by Coggins, who was wearing a clown mask. Coggins hit Feliciano multiple times in the face with a wooden post, then pulled out a pair of scissors, they said.

That's when Feliciano pulled out his concealed gun to fire multiple shots at Coggins. He then called 911.

Police said Coggins doesn't have a local arrest history, and it's unclear how long he'd been in the area.

The investigation is ongoing.
