Beaufort County Sheriff Deputies arrested Nathan Garner, 71, Thursday night after he allegedly tried to shoot and kill two of his ex-girlfriend's family members. Investigators say it all happened around 11 p.m. in Sun City and that Garner was out on bond after a September domestic violence incident involving the same ex-girlfriend. He now faces charges including attempted murder, stalking and possession of a firearm. The sheriff's office release says that a father and his adult son had just arrived to visit their family member when they noticed Garner's car parked on her street. The female family member lives on Bourquine Way in Sun City. When the two men walked towards the car, investigators say Garner popped up from behind the bushes, drew out a pistol and started shooting. The release continues to say that Garner's shots missed the two men, who then tackled him to the ground and took his gun until police arrived. Garner was denied bond for his attempted murder charges and is currently sitting in the Beaufort County Detention Center.
