Police response to shooting incident
David Grice, a 60-year-old man from Nakina, North Carolina, has been arrested following a violent shooting incident in Horry County. Grice allegedly shot a victim twice during a home invasion, leading to his subsequent arrest for driving under the influence after his vehicle was found in a ditch. The tragic circumstances surrounding his actions stem from accusations related to his son’s death earlier that day, adding to the rising concern over gun violence in Horry County.
In a dramatic turn of events, a 60-year-old man from Nakina, North Carolina, named David Grice, has found himself in hot water after a violent incident over the weekend that left many in the community shaking their heads in disbelief. Grice was arrested on Friday and is now facing several serious charges that could lead to substantial consequences.
The incident took a turn for the worse when Grice allegedly broke into a home located on Highway 348 and shot the victim not once, but twice! Reports indicate that the victim sustained gunshot wounds—once in the arm and once in the chest. Such a violent encounter leaves us wondering what could lead someone to act in such desperation.
Following the shooting, law enforcement found Grice near the road with his vehicle in a ditch. How did he get there, you ask? Well, it turns out Grice was arrested by the South Carolina Highway Patrol for driving under the influence after the shocking incident. It’s a tragic but eye-opening tale of how quickly one can go from living a normal life to facing serious prison time.
So what prompted this bizarre and violent outburst? According to court warrants, Grice reportedly accused the victim of giving drugs to his son. Unfortunately, it had been a devastating day for Grice, as he claimed that this led to his son’s tragic death earlier that same day. You can only imagine the turmoil and confusion he must have been going through. However, that certainly doesn’t justify the violent actions that followed.
As authorities dug deeper, they found a prescription bag among Grice’s belongings that matched the location of the shooting. Grice has been held at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center since Friday, and for now, he’s facing no bond. It leaves us to ponder the complexities of mental health, grief, and the choices people make when emotions run high.
This incident is just one of many that has drawn attention to rising gun violence in Horry County. Authorities are already investigating a spate of recent shootings in the area, including two separate incidents in Little River just last Tuesday. In one case, a shooting occurred in a business mall parking lot that resulted in one person being hospitalized. Another shooting on Woodridge Circle also saw one individual seriously injured and taken to the hospital.
To add to the concern, there was yet another shooting reported on Waccamaw Pines Drive, near the popular Tanger Outlets, where a person suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder. With law enforcement focusing on these troubling events, it appears that community safety is at the forefront of their missions in the coming days.
As the investigation into Grice’s actions and the ongoing rise in gun-related incidents continues, the community is left to contemplate on the harsh realities of violence. Every person in Horry County likely hopes for a swift resolution to these matters, so that peace can be restored. For now, a shattered family and a community in shock awaits what the future holds.
In a world where violence can erupt unexpectedly, it serves as a grim reminder for all of us to be vigilant and compassionate, for you never know what struggles others might be facing.
