LYMAN, SOUTH CAROLINA — One bad guy had an extremely bad night after a concealed carrier returned fire on him outside a nightclub in Lyman. The bad guy in question was identified as Jody Ray Thompson, 30. He opened fire indiscriminately on several onlookers after he left a nightclub. One of the onlookers, thankfully, was carrying a concealed firearm and returned fire — striking him once in the leg.

According to WHNS News and FOX 4, Thompson got into a verbal altercation with another man outside the nightclub. Onlookers gathered and he took out a handgun and opened fire. His rounds hit three people before the fourth, a legal concealed carrier, returned fire.
