A Greenville man who called 911 and claimed he was being poisoned was fatally shot early Sunday after pointing a gun at deputies, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The shooting happened at the Pleasant Grove mobile home park on Murrell Road, a rural residential area about four miles from downtown Greenville.

Lt. Ryan Flood, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, said deputies responded to a home at Pleasant Grove around 1:30 a.m after a man called 911 and claimed he was being poisoned.

Flood said when deputies arrived at the residence, they were at the door and attempted to make contact with the people inside after identifying themselves as law enforcement.

Flood said a man inside the home claimed to have a gun and started yelling. The Greenville County Coroner's Office identified the man as 34-year-old Willie Jermaine Robinson, who lived at the home.

Deputies took cover and heard a gunshot from inside the house, Flood said. The man who was inside the home came outside and began shooting, Flood said.

Robinson then pointed the gun at deputies and at least one deputy returned fire, striking him. Robinson was pronounced dead at the home, Flood said.

Deputies discovered that Robinson had shot a woman who was inside the home with him, Flood said. Her injuries are not life-threatening, Flood said.

No deputies were injured, he said.

The State Law Enforcement Division is investigating the shooting. It is typical for South Carolina's top law enforcement agency to be called in to investigate officer-involved shootings.

Flood told The Greenville News that "several deputies" who responded to the incident on Murrell Road have been placed on administrative leave while SLED investigates what happened. Flood said Sunday afternoon that he didn't know how many deputies have been placed on leave. Flood said it is standard for his agency to put officers on leave while SLED investigates such shootings.

The Sheriff's Office has not disclosed the identities of the officers involved.

SLED agents' investigation of the shooting includes interviewing deputies and others, and also involves gathering and analyzing forensic evidence, according to Thom Berry, a spokesman for the state agency.

Pleasant Grove has multiple mobile homes, some with trash cans or old sofas in front waiting to be removed.

It is not clear whether Greenville County deputies had been to Robinson's home before Sunday. Flood said he not immediately know.

Late Sunday morning, a woman who identified herself only as the property manager of the mobile home park stood near the trailer where the shooting occurred asking reporters to leave.

The case was the seventh officer-involved shooting in South Carolina this year, and the second one involving a deputy from the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, according to SLED.
