Update: Deputy Shoots Elderly Man

Columbia, SC (WOLO)-A York County deputy who shot a 70-year-old man reaching for his cane during a traffic stop last month broke down in tears as other officers arrived. The sheriff’s office release dashboard camera video of the stop Wednesday. It shows Bobby Canipe (kah-NYP’) getting out of his truck and reaching for a cane on a dark highway. Deputy Terrance Knox ordered him to “drop the gun” then almost immediately fired several shots, hitting Canipe once. Knox then almost as quickly seemed to realize Canipe had a cane, then cursed and rushed to help. Sheriff Bruce Bryant says after watching the video he still thinks the officer did the right thing. The shooting is still under investigation.
