Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office

A Cameron man called authorities Wednesday after firing a shot at would-be burglars inside his residence.

He said he was taking a shower about 3:20 p.m. when he heard a noise coming from his living room. He said he grabbed a gun before investigating.

As he entered his living room, he saw a man standing there. He fired a shot to scare the subject off.

The intruder ran out and around the side of the house, the homeowner reported. At that point, the resident noticed another man outside.

The homeowner said he knew both subjects and gave investigators their names.
