St. Stephen man dies after struggle with wife over gun ST. STEPHEN — A 52-year-old St. Stephen man has died after being shot during a struggle with his wife, authorities said.
Prosecutor Blair Jennings said no criminal charges are expected to be filed in the death of Robert Lawrence Horne.
Shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday, sheriff's deputies were dispatched to Horne's home, where they found his wife, Valerie Humbert Horne, sitting on the floor, an incident report said. Her husband's body was lying nearby, and a silver-colored revolver was on the kitchen table.
The man had been arguing with his 23-year-old daughter over her relationship and said he wanted to kick her out of the house, Jennings said. The daughter fled the house after the man pointed a gun at her and threatened to kill her, Sheriff's Capt. Rick Ollic said.
Robert Lawrence Horne then threatened to kill his wife and armed himself with three handguns, Ollic said.
During an ensuing struggle, Horne's wife fired the gun.
What state was this in?
No mention of alcohol?
South Carolina. It's in the topics list.
S. Carolina

Does it make any difference that the revolver was silver-colored?
[Do I really have to add a /sarc tag?]
Only if the lady was wearing a mask. Her daughter, Tonta, was unavailable for comment.

Thank you all. The state location isn't always in the topics list and I just never look there anymore.
There's one witness that won't be talking.

Why do so many Freepers respond to news stories with wisecracks instead of being serious?
I've tried that but it's hard to get my toe through the trigger guard.
This was one time when a man was armed with too many guns. Good that his wife managed to get one of them and knew how to use it.
I'm actually being serious. We will never hear his side.
Read the Phyllis Schlafly article and see what's happening to the American male.
Self defense is a basic legal right in at least some states (and should be in *all* states).
