Wiliamsburg County Sheriff's Office deputies say a man was charged with assault and battery after a domestic dispute inside a home on Hubcap Road Saturday.
John Willie Dansby, 52, of Kingstree, was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.
Police said Dansby discharged a weapon from the residence and toward the door where the first arriving deputy was located initially.
The deputy found cover until back up law enforcement arrived.
Police say an investigation revealed the domestic dispute victim was inside the residence when Dansby discharged a gun at them. He then followed the victim into another room while armed and threatened the victim's life, police said.
No one was injured.
Dansby was transported to Williamsburg County Detention Center.
The Sheriff's Office requested the assistance of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division to investigate the officer-involved shooting.
