ROCK HILL, SC (NEWS FROM QUEEN CITY) — Rock Hill police say a woman died Wednesday after an argument between coworkers escalated.

On June 19, police were called to Riverwalk Parkway near Celriver Road shortly after 3 p.m. for a report of a shooting. When they arrived, they found a woman with a gunshot wound to the chest and arrested a man at the scene.

The woman was taken to Piedmont Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.

Investigators believe the woman and man were co-workers at a nearby store who got into an argument at work. The woman got into a car driven by an acquaintance, 32-year-old Brittney Reed of Lancaster. As the man got into his car and drove away, Reed blocked his car with hers.

The co-worker then went to the man’s window with a gun, and the man pulled out his own gun and shot the co-worker, authorities said. Reed punched the man in the face but left him alone after yelling at her to go away. He waited for police to arrive.

Police believe the man fired in self-defense, so he will not be charged. Reed was arrested and charged with assault.

Two weapons were found at the crime scene. The investigation is still ongoing.
