Rock Hill Woman Killed, Girlfriend Charged With Murder In Self-Defense Shooting

ROCK HILL, S.C. – A Rock Hill woman is dead and her girlfriend was charged with murder following an altercation with a co-worker who shot and killed her in self-defense, according to the Rock Hill Police Department.It happened around 3 p.m. Wednesday at Riverwalk Parkway near Cel-River Road.
The shooting stems from an altercation between 39-year-old Samarian Lindsay and her co-worker, according to police. Lindsay got into her girlfriend’s car while the male co-worker got in his car and started driving away.
Brittney Reed, 32, allegedly drove in front of the man’s vehicle to block him while he was stuck in traffic. Police said Reed knew blocking his car would likely lead to a felony act that could result in somebody’s death.
Lindsay got out of Reed’s car and approached the man’s vehicle from the passenger side and presented a firearm. Police said the man grabbed his own firearm and fired it at Lindsay, hitting her multiple times in the chest.

There’s a lesson in here. I’m just not sure which one to pick. Thanks, Gun Bunny.
If you’re going to be a good and faithful judge, you have to resign yourself to the fact that you’re not always going to like the conclusions you reach. If you like them all the time, you’re probably doing something wrong.

We lost a Rhodes Scholar with the death of Samarian Lindsay.
Wow, what a loss to society…. NOT
I’m sorry, my surprised face is nowhere to be found.
I see this lady must have been a student of Linda YGates. It’s the superb writing skills that caught my attention.
Pure ghetto poetry.
Roses are red
violents are blue
Samarian is dead
oh, boo hoo.
Sounds like this was a situation long in he making, and ready to boil over. The male co-worker was prepared, gun up front with him.
Just what the heck business did they all work for?
Whatcha wanna bet that there’s “another” woman involved in all of this? Brittney may have a long time to contemplate her choice of “friends”.
Stupid games, stupid prizes.
I’m no fan of bump stocks (I prefer deliberate precision placement of my valuable ammo) but I’m glad they’re still legal.
They seem a great way to turn money into noise. I’d likely giggle dumping a mag or two downrange but after that? No thanks, not for serious shooters.
Can’t discount the giggle factor.
But I can’t afford it even at discount.
It’s a novelty to play with one day. Put it in storage and forget it.
Here’s a little info that might make some of you feel good: the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield EZ in .30 Super Carry is currently $250, down from $500, at Bass Pro and Cabela’s. I got the price change a couple of weeks ago and we sold the two affected SKUs (10-round capacity, with or without thumb safety) pretty quickly. A coworker bought the last one today. There are only four with thumb safeties company-wide, but nearly 300 without, and my store’s getting a couple more. While I’ve passed over the past week or so, I’m acquiring the ones that come in and paying for one immediately.
Here’s the icing on the cake: the Veteran’s discount applies, bringing the gun down to $237.50. Plus, there’s a $50 rebate from S&W going on through August. $187.50 for an M&P can’t be beat. We’re talking Hi-Point money, or maybe used Taurus money here.
I’ve been wondering if .30SC would take off, and it seems like the answer is “no”. But, with the support of S&W coupled with the strengths of the cartridge (near-9mm ballistics with a much higher capacity for the Shield Plus): 30 Super Carry Tested!

Anyway, that’s all, I’m envious that I buy one sooner, and though I don’t carry with a safety engaged, I wish I’d have bought one of those (I practice engaging the safety for reholstering, then disengaging it.
I miss my days at the gun counter. Boy I sure gave myself some good deals.
I’m glad I don’t regularly work the gun counter at my store. We usually have one person scheduled to work the counter, which has three registers and around 300 each display pistols and long guns, plus scopes, knives, weapons lights, and gun parts (placed out and picked up daily). Over the past few months, it’s been a struggle, as I can sometimes only spend half my shift doing my job. As the Gun Vault Specialist, I bring guns up from receiving, acquire them into our bound book, dispose of outgoing and transferred firearms, ensure all the paperwork’s in order, and respond to ATF Trace requests. I also put out all of the displays. Given my knowledge and the fact that we have one employee in the used gun department, I find myself doing appraisals and purchases/trade-ins as well. I sometimes cover the gun counter while they’re at lunch and cover RSO duties at the range while he’s at lunch. When I open, I spend over an hour putting out guns, validate and file the paperwork before the store opens, and then focus on outgoing customer orders/repairs. All the while, I get calls to bring out firearms, review potential straw purchases, and do a final check on completed transactions. But the deals are good. I get the first look at sales and clearance pricing, and the used gun guy and I have an agreement where if either of us want a gun, it’ll sit in the back until we have the money (within reason, we won’t just sit on a gun for six-plus months). The Shield EZ should be on a truck this week, just in time for the retirement check to hit, so maybe I buy one, or maybe both and give one to my son or daughter. That M&P-15 is still back there, probably waiting until next month to come home with me. The pay’s not too shabby either. This year’s pay raise brings me to a little under $20/hr. We all got a $1/hr. raise last year to celebrate 50 years, and in January, 401k matching is being… Read more »
Small correction, the guns are the only things that are secured daily. Still, a lot of work, with six extra man-hours on the payroll daily.
