A Charter Communications worker was killed in a South Carolina shooting and standoff that also wounded two public workers repairing a sewer main, a deputy and a woman inside the home where the shooter was barricaded, authorities said.
The man who shot the workers fixing the sewer, 45-year-old Shannon Earl Smith, died from at least one gunshot wound at the hospital shortly after the standoff ended Thursday around 5 p.m., authorities said.
The cable TV worker killed and the woman wounded were inside Smith s Spartanburg home during the standoff where officers also fired shots, said Greenville County Sheriff s spokesman Lt. Ryan Flood, whose agency was asked to investigate because it was not involved in the incident.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. Two public workers repairing a sewer main in South Carolina were shot by a man who also fired on a deputy Thursday, authorities said.
The shooter was involved in a standoff inside a home that ended after a few hours, but Spartanburg Sheriff Chuck Wright said he didn t know the condition of the man or if anyone else was inside the house. We really don t know what triggered anything, Wright said at a news conference late Thursday afternoon. We literally just secured the house. I don t know any other details.
