Report released after SC white deputy shoots black homeowner

http://news.yahoo.com/investigation-white-deputy-shoots-black-homeowner-083452475.html

As a South Carolina sheriff's deputy responded to a report of a home invasion, he shouted commands at a black homeowner holding a gun before firing at the man and wounding him in the neck, according to an incident report released Friday.

The Charleston County Sheriff's Office report summarizes the incident involving Deputy Keith Tyner, who is white, and another deputy on Thursday in the rural community of Hollywood, in a subdivision of mobile homes and brick ranch homes....

Law enforcement officials planned to meet with community leaders later Friday to discuss the shooting, the second in recent months involving law enforcement in Charleston County.

On April 4, a white North Charleston Police officer shot and killed a black man who he said fought with him over the officer's stun gun.
