A Greenville County man is accused of throwing knives at his roommate before being shot over the weekend.

Daniel Sanchez-Altamirano, 43, was treated for a gunshot wound Saturday and is now charged with assault and battery, according to warrants from the Greenville County Sheriff's Office.

Sanchez-Altamirano is accused of initiating and altercation with his roommate by throwing "multiple large kitchen knives" at the victim who subsequently fired his gun at Sanchez-Altamirano in self-defense, according to Ryan Flood, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.

Around 1 p.m., deputies responded to a call on Anderson Road about a male victim with a gunshot wound after "a verbal altercation between two roommates," according to a press release. Sanchez-Altamirano's wound was not life-threatening.

He is being held in the Greenville County Detention Center on a $15,000 bond, according to Flood.
