The homeowner then called 911 and waited for deputies to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No criminal charges will be filed against the individual who shot Mr. Payne. South Carolina law is very clear in stating a man&#8217;s home is his castle.

Officers say they saw him toss a gun as he ran and it turned out to be a BB gun.<\/p>\n<p>Worthington is charged with attempted robbery, pointing a handgun and resisting law enforcement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Tango sends us our feel good stories for this morning.
