A fight
inside the Champ Bar and Grill on West Beltline
Boulevard around midnight Saturday led to an exchange of
gunfire that wounded a bouncer and the man Richland
County Sheriff’s deputies said opened fire on the club.
Lt. Chris
Cowan said Rick McCoy, who is hospitalized, faces
charges of public disorderly conduct and assault with
intent to kill.
According
to deputies, a fight involving several people broke out
inside the club. McCoy, who was one of those ordered to
leave, went to his truck, got a gun and opened fire on
the club, Cowan said. The bouncer and security guard
both returned fire and McCoy was hit, Cowan said. The
guard subdued him and took him into custody.
