In Horry County, S.C., when police responded on the evening of Dec. 8, 2025, to a call about a shooting victim, they discovered a man inside a laundromat with a gunshot wound in his thigh.
The man reportedly claimed he’d been randomly shot by an unknown assailant and had fled into the laundromat to escape. However, another person returned to the scene and explained to police that the man had attacked them and they had shot him in self-defense. (The gender of this victim was not reported.)
Police arrested the wounded suspect for first-degree domestic violence with strangulation as an aggravating factor. (myrtlebeachonline.com, Myrtle Beach, S.C., 12/9/25)

Phillip Borelli, co-owner of a Hempstead, N.Y., auto dealership, noticed two men asking his brother Anthony, the other proprietor, about the price of a truck. Suddenly, one pulled an unidentified weapon and struck Anthony on the head, knocking him to the ground. Phillip pulled his licensed revolver and fired, sending the two attackers fleeing.
