\nA shooting that left a man dead outside a tavern in Greer, South Carolina, has been officially ruled as self-defense.<\/p>\n

Around 2:15 a.m. on Jan. 3, officers with the Greer Police Department responded to a reported shooting outside Ollie’s Tavern on Trade Street.<\/p>\n

When police arrived, they found Jonathan Gilbert Kraemer of Lyman dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

According to police, Kraemer got into an argument on the sidewalk outside the bar. During the encounter, Kraemer pulled out a knife in a threatening manner. In response, Maven Martin discharged a firearm, striking Kraemer and John Rowell who was in close proximity.<\/p>\n

Rowell was transported to the hospital after he was shot in the lower body. Within hours, Rowell was treated and released from the hospital.<\/p>\n

While at the hospital for treatment, officers issued Rowell municipal citations for interfering with police and disorderly conduct. He was subsequently released from police custody.<\/p>\n

After reviewing all evidence presented, detectives believe the shooting occurred under circumstances consistent with self-defense. At this time, no criminal charges related to the shooting death of Kraemer are being pursued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
