NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- http://www.lakewyliepilot.com/2012/08/09/1624549/1-dead-2-wounded-after-breaking.html
Authorities say one man is dead and two others hospitalized after they crashed a van into a North Augusta gun store to steal weapons and were shot by the owner, who lived behind the business.
The Aiken County Coroner's Office says 20-year-old K'Raven Goodwin of Eastover was killed and the two men with him remain in the hospital after the shooting around 4 a.m. Thursday.
Deputies say the owner was checking on an alarm at his store when he confronted and shot the men. Investigators would not say if the men were armed or fired back.
Authorities say the two shooting survivors ran to a nearby Waffle House to call for help, while the third man was found in the store.
No charges have been filed as an investigation continues.

UPDATE: Arrest warrants issued for 2 surviving suspects after attempted burglary in Belvedere
Friday, Aug. 10, 2012
BELVEDERE, S.C. -- News 12 has learned warrants have been issued for the two surviving suspects in the attempted burglary at Guns and Ammo Gunsmith.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office says Eddie Stewart and Franklin Robinson will be charged with burglary 1st, grand larceny and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. Both suspects are still in the hospital and will be taken into custody once they are released.
The Aiken County coroner says the third suspect, 20-year-old K'Raven Goodwin of Eastover, S.C., died from multiple gunshot wounds on Thursday morning.
Investigators say a vehicle crashed into the store to break in around 3:30 a.m.
The business owner, Stephen Bayezes, says he was asleep in his home behind the store when the alarm started going off. He woke up and ran to the store where he saw three men loading guns into the van. One of the men yelled, "Shoot the (explicative)," so Bayezes started shooting. He hit all three of the suspects, killing one as the other two fled.
Goodwin was left at the scene. Stewart and Robinson ran away to the Waffle House on Martintown Road near I-20.
Police were called to both scenes and the suspects were taken to the hospital.
The owner was very shaken up. He and his friends spent the morning cleaning up the store and boarding up the side wall.
This is the second time in three years the business has been broken into. After the last break-in in 2009, he added bars and a sign that says "24-Hour Armed Guard" to the front of his store.
The owner says the stolen guns were recovered from the van at Waffle House.
