Didn't think this belonged in the RNC thread since it happened miles away. If already posted somewhere, my apologies
Man accused of firing gun near Trump supporters gathering in Fort Mill
A Charlotte man was arrested in Fort Mill Monday after police say he fired several shots from a vehicle near a political gathering.
The incident happened around 6:50 p.m. in the area of I-77 and Sutton Road. Members of the group, a local organization for women, say they were holding signs on the side of the road in support of President Donald Trump.
Officers say several people from the group told them three males “drove by more than once, making derogatory remarks and yelling obscenities at them from their vehicle.”
The victims said as the vehicle turned from Sutton Rd on to the ramp to northbound I-77, the driver of the vehicle kept yelling, then put his arm out the window while holding what appeared to be a handgun.
They heard several shots being fired as the vehicle proceeded northbound on the interstate.
”All of a sudden you know bang bang bang bang bang bang bang” says Ostrowski.
The driver of the vehicle, identified as 23-year-old Marquise Damarius Asomani of Charlotte, was taken into custody.
Asomani is charged with six counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and one count each of unlawful carrying of a pistol, pointing and presenting firearms at a person and possession of a firearm during a violent crime.
“I think it’s sad honestly that we’re showing support for the president and you have to be nervous about somebody coming and doing this, says Lindsey Portugal, who’s a part of the rally organizing group. “I mean that’s just discouraging.”
He was taken to the York County Detention Center and placed under a $75,000 bond.
