    Man shoots self in early morning robbery BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com The Item

    A 24-year-old Sumter man is dead after an attempted armed robbery turned into a suicide Thursday morning outside a jewelry store on Guignard Drive.

    Shortly before 7:50 a.m. Thursday, police say as two employees of Galloway and Moseley Fine Jewelers were walking up to the front door of the business preparing to open the store, they were approached by a man wearing a ski mask. The suspect, later identified as 24-year-old Sumter resident Joshua Duncan, pointed a gun at the men, saying he was robbing the store.

    One of the employees, who police say has a concealed weapons permit, then brandished his own weapon and pointed it at the suspect.

    “He did that to defend himself,” said Sumter Police public information officer Tonyia McGirt.

    After a brief standoff between the two armed men, police say the suspect then turned his weapon to his head and fired, killing himself on the front steps of the business. “He never made it into the store,” McGirt said.

    Sumter County Coroner both identified Duncan and confirmed he died from a single gunshot wound to the head.

    Police also confirmed there were no other injuries in the incident. The shooting remains under investigation.

    Authorities quickly roped off the front parking lot of the business while investigators processed the scene. The high number of emergency vehicles on site blocked nearby Burns Drive, and slowing drivers viewing the scene along Guignard Drive, coupled with the detours off of Alice Drive due to construction, snarled traffic in the area during the morning rush hour.

    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    CWP FTW! Side note: if you have a CWp and pull your pistol you don't just sit there pointing it at the person. If you pull it USE IT. Why in the hell would he just point it and start arguing with someone who is also pointing a gun at you? he shoulda pulled it and took him out before he took hisself out.

    The CWP guy is lucky he isn't dead.

    There should be no brief stand off. If the gun gets pulled then it should get used immediately.

    If both are pulled then one or both of the subjects should start assuming room temperature

    The dude should have thought his plan B thru a little better.

    Some of you Sumterites on here ought to use the link above to check the criminal history of your crew and report back here with your findings.
    Should be good for a few laughs.
