| HIST | of Sumter, South Carolina Man shoots self in early morning robbery MATT WALSH / THE ITEM City of Sumter Police collect evidence from the scene. BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com A 24-year-old Sumter man is dead after an attempted armed robbery turned into a suicide Thursday morning outside a jewelry store on Guignard Drive. Shortly before 7:50 a.m. Thursday, police say as two employees of Galloway and Moseley Fine Jewelers were walking up to the front door of the business preparing to open the store, they were approached by a man wearing a ski mask. The suspect, later identified as 24-year-old Sumter resident Joshua Duncan, pointed a gun at the men, saying he was robbing the store. One of the employees, who police say has a concealed weapons permit, then brandished his own weapon and pointed it at the suspect. “He did that to defend himself,” said Sumter Police public information officer Tonyia McGirt. After a brief standoff between the two armed men, police say the suspect then turned his weapon to his head and fired, killing himself on the front steps of the business. “He never made it into the store,” McGirt said. Sumter County Coroner both identified Duncan and confirmed he died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Police also confirmed there were no other injuries in the incident. The shooting remains under investigation. Authorities quickly roped off the front parking lot of the business while investigators processed the scene. The high number of emergency vehicles on site blocked nearby Burns Drive, and slowing drivers viewing the scene along Guignard Drive, coupled with the detours off of Alice Drive due to construction, snarled traffic in the area during the morning rush hour.

After a brief standoff between the two armed men, police said the suspect then turned his weapon to his head and fired, killing himself on the front steps of the business. "He never made it into the store," McGirt said. Sumter County Coroner Harvin Bullock identified Duncan and confirmed he died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Police also confirmed there were no other injuries in the incident. The shooting remains under investigation; however, McGirt said investigators think Duncan was acting alone during the attempted robbery. "There are no other individuals believed to be involved at this point in the investigation," McGirt said. This determination came after police, securing the area, had to quickly evaluate the evidence they found at the crime scene. This included a handwritten note taped to the front door, awaiting the employees of the business which read: "HELLO. You Have a Rifle pointed at You. Just follow My Instructions and no one Will get Hurt. My Partner will be with you Soon. Lission (sic) to Him, if you Do not people WILL DIE!!!" Having more than one employee arrive at the same time to open the store was standard protocol for the business, said McGirt, who also suggested business owners make sure they put in place a set of safety precautions like this for their own protection. This should include making sure employees enter and leave together, remaining aware of surroundings, and making sure both parking lots and business interiors remain well lit, even after stores are closed. "Sometimes there might be a situation where you have surveillance cameras, but you need to be able to see the footage on those surveillance cameras," McGirt said.
