A Columbia man is being held in the Lexington County Detention Center after detectives said he shot the doorknob of a West Columbia home and exchanged gunfire with another man after going inside.<\/p>\n
Jeremy Gerome Junious, 34, is charged with attempted murder, discharging a firearm into a dwelling, first-degree burglary and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, according to arrest warrants.<\/p>\n
“Based on the interviews detectives have done and the evidence collected, Junious got into the home on Drayton Hall Drive early on the morning of April 9 after he shot through the doorknob,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. “Junious and the man inside the home shot at each other. Both men suffered gunshot wounds.”<\/p>\n
Junious then ran upstairs, took his child from the home and left, according to Koon.<\/p>\n
“Deputies made contact with Junious as they were responding to the incident location,” Koon said. “He was in his car with the child in his lap. The child suffered a minor gunshot wound to the leg.”<\/p>\n
Investigators believe the incident stems from a custody dispute between Junious and the child’s mother, according to Koon.<\/p>\n
Junious, the male victim and the child were transported to the hospital for additional treatment. Junious was arrested Tuesday after he was released from the hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
