## Resource

A 39-year-old man in Lexington County, South Carolina, faces serious charges including attempted murder after a volatile confrontation with a West Columbia police officer on June 10th. Shots were fired—Waring allegedly pointed a gun and fired multiple rounds at the officer, who was struck in the arm, while Waring himself was also shot. Both were hospitalized but released. Waring, now jailed without bond, is accused of having a weapon during a violent crime and being a felon in possession of a firearm. This marks South Carolina’s 19th officer-involved shooting this year—a sharp drop from last year’s 45—and the first for West Columbia PD. SLED leads the investigation, underscoring the ongoing risks faced by law enforcement. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
