 The Easy Way Out

Georgetown County (South Carolina) sheriff's deputies responded on Nov. 6 to a call about a shooting at Crepe Myrtle Court, where they found one man lying on the ground with bullet wounds, with another applying pressure to a wound.

When the deputy asked where the shooter was, the unharmed man, Aaron Stephen Gruber, 31, said, "That's me, I'm the shooter."

He was immediately arrested and charged with attempted murder, The Sun News reported.

According to witnesses, Gruber and the victim were arguing about the victim making a sexual gesture toward Gruber's wife.

The victim punched Gruber in the face, and he responded by shooting him twice.

Gruber posted $50,000 bond and was released. [The Sun News, 11/9/2021]
