ROCK HILL, S.C. — A woman is dead after a dispute with a co-worker led to a shooting in Rock on Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Rock Hill Police Department, the incident happened around 3 p.m. at Riverwalk Parkway near Cel-River Road.
When officers arrived, they found a woman who had been shot in the chest. She was taken to Piedmont Medical Center, where she died from the gunshot wounds.
The man who shot the woman was still at the scene when police arrived and he was detained as police investigated the shooting.
Police discovered that the man and the woman he shot were co-workers and had an altercation at a business in Rock Hill where they worked.
The woman then got into a car driven by 32-year-old Brittany Reed, an acquaintance. When the man got into his car and started to drive away from the workplace, Reed blocked the man, who was stopped in traffic, with her car.
At that point, the female co-worker walked up to the man's car with a gun. The man pulled out a gun and shot the woman.
Reed then punched the man in the face and he yelled at her to leave. He waited for police to arrive at the scene.
Police determined that the shooting was done in self-defense and the man will not face charges. Reed, a Lancaster resident, was arrested and charged with assault and battery.
The investigation remains ongoing.
