SC man shoots at sons as they steal his car

POWDERSVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Anderson County sheriff’s deputies are investigating a man’s report that he tried to shoot out the tires of his own car as his two teenage sons stole it and drove away.

The Anderson Independent-Mail reports (http://bit.ly/x3uDUj ) that Mickey Mayberry, of Powdersville, says he was kicked in the head and shocked with a stun gun by his sons, who then took his keys.

Mayberry says he fired two bullets at the tires of the car as the 17-year-old and 19-year-old drove away. He says he wanted to stop them because there’s a shotgun in the car.

Deputies found one discharged round in the parking lot of the apartment complex where the shooting happened. Mayberry thinks the other bullet hit a tire, but that the boys were still able to drive away.
