COLUMBIA, SC —

One person was killed after a shooting at a Columbia diner early Sunday.

The shooting happened around 2:30 a.m. at the Waffle House on the 200 block of Stoneridge Drive, just off Greystone Boulevard near Interstate 126, according to the Columbia Police Department. The male victim was shot in the lower body.

One person has been taken into custody for questioning, police said. No charges have been filed. Investigators believe the suspect and victim were arguing before the shooting.

The victim’s identity will be released by the Richland County Coroner’s Office after the family has been notified.

Check back for updates.

Waffle House tends to draw a certain crowd. They’re always in the news for goings on in the wee hours.

This must be fake news.

I know that because the dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks Nikki Haley took down the Confederate Battle Flag, so that everyone in SC would forever do the Kumbaya thing.

Therefore this report must not be true.

Understand they are offering a special Valentine’s Day dinner complete with candles and most of the reservations have sold out.

We were driving back from southern Georgia to Houston a couple of years ago and decided to count the number of Waffle Houses we saw along the way. Quit counting at 99 and we weren’t even through Louisiana yet.
