COLUMBIA — A South Carolina man who shot and killed an armed robber at an Alcoholic Anonymous gathering in Columbia has his gun back.
The State reported Tuesday that police returned the .32-caliber semiautomatic pistol to Columbia attorney James Corley.
The local prosecutor said earlier this month that Corley's shooting of 18-year-old Kayson Helms of Edison, N.J., was justifiable self-defense of himself and others at the location.
The 61-year-old Corley has a concealed weapons permit.
Police say Helms already had robbed one person at gunpoint and was about to rob others when Corley shot him.
