Woman shot multiple times and her fiance pulled the trigger, SC deputies say

A man was arrested after shooting his fiancée multiple times, the Richland County Sheriff's Department said Sunday.

Braden Robinson, 39, was charged with attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime when he was arrested Saturday, the Sheriff's Department said in a news release.

The shooting took place Friday evening, according to the release.

Around 8 p.m., officers responded to a call about a shooting in the 5400 block of Bluff Road, the sheriff's department said. It's in Columbia, not far from exit 5 of Interstate 77.

Officers found a woman who had been shot multiple times in the lower body and she was taken to an area hospital, according to the release. No additional information on his condition was available.

Officers determined the victim was shot by Robinson, her fiancé, who left the scene before they arrived, the sheriff's department said.

Robinson was found later that night and taken to the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center, according to the release. It's unclear where deputies found Robinson when he was arrested.

Bond was dismissed on both charges and Robinson remains locked up, according to jail records.

The sheriff's department said it is still investigating the motive for the shooting and the events leading up to the shooting.
