UNION — A Jonesville man has been charged in connection with a shooting incident Monday afternoon that left two men wounded.
Harotis Geneiro Jones, 28, of 114 Woodlawn Ave., Jonesville, was charged by the Union County Sheriff’s Office with attempted murder and possession of a firearm during commission of a violent crime around 3:20 p.m. Monday.
According to the incident report, officers responded to Sailors Mobile Home Park — specifically Morning Glory Drive, Union — in reference to shots being fired. While en route, officers were advised that the shooter was still on the scene shooting and at least one individual had been shot.
Upon arrival, officers observed a gold Honda traveling down Wildlife Drive at a high rate of speed, attempting to leave the mobile home park, and a traffic stop was made. As the officer exited the patrol vehicle, Jones began to exit the passenger side of the vehicle holding a camouflage 12-gauge single-barrel shotgun.
When the officer yelled for him to drop the weapon, Jones complied and dropped the weapon on the ground and put his hands in the air. Jones also handed over a glass jar containing several bags of marijuana that were packaged for sale and said, “Here I have this too.”
When asked if he knew anything about the shooting, Jones replied, ” — right. I tried to kill them — .”
Jones was arrested and searched further, and officers found 17 more shotgun shells in his pocket, as well as a black ski mask under the seat in which he was sitting in the car.
Two men were shot at the residence on Morning Glory Drive. They were transported to Wallace Thomson Hospital and later released. Officers noticed the mobile home, wooden front porch and a vehicle in the yard had also been shot.
The driver of the car stated that Jones had asked him to pick him up in Union and drop him off at the mobile home park, and he did not have a firearm when he picked Jones up. The driver said within minutes, Jones called him back to come pick him up.
The incident report also states that it was determined the shooting stemmed from an incident which occurred earlier on Monday in which Jones’ mother was involved in a heated argument with the two victims.
