New details have emerged after a domestic violence incident in the Midlands that left two people dead and a deputy wounded.
Investigators say Lexington County deputies fatally shot a man after he broke into his ex-wife’s home, killed her, drove her car through her garage door and fired at police during a chase.
Authorities say one deputy was wounded in the shootings in Lexington, but is expected to survive. Deputies went to the home of 39-year-old Jamal Walker’s ex-wife around 1:30 AM Wednesday, after a 911 caller said someone was trying to break into the house.
Investigators say Walker and his ex-wife had been divorced for about a year and she had been receiving harassing phone calls recently.
