NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. --

Authorities say one man is dead and two others hospitalized after they crashed a van into a North Augusta gun store to steal weapons and were shot by the owner, who lived behind the business.

The Aiken County Coroner's Office says 20-year-old K'Raven Goodwin of Eastover was killed and the two men with him remain in the hospital after the shooting around 4 a.m. Thursday.

Deputies say the owner was checking on an alarm at his store when he confronted and shot the men. Investigators would not say if the men were armed or fired back.

Authorities say the two shooting survivors ran to a nearby Waffle House to call for help, while the third man was found in the store.

6. Living in North Augusta was the worst ever.

1966-1967, was the most redneck place I had ever been in. I am a Southerner and it was so much worse than Augusta Georgia.
I defend the south through the years at ignorant posters so this is not a bias thing.
Makes me want to spit thinking of it.
I know this is off topic a bit but I had to spout.

12. Apparently the men were armed

"The Aiken County Sheriff's Office says Eddie Stewart and Franklin Robinson will be charged with burglary 1st, grand larceny and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. Both suspects are still in the hospital and will be taken into custody once they are released."

"The business owner, Stephen Bayezes, says he was asleep in his home behind the store when the alarm started going off. He woke up and ran to the store where he saw three men loading guns into the van. One of the men yelled, "Shoot the (explicative)," so Bayezes started shooting. He hit all three of the suspects, killing one as the other two fled."
