Two South Carolina men were arrested for shooting at a trooper during a traffic stop; one faces extra charges, and a separate suspect died in custody.

Two men, Brandon Green, 36, and Labaron Washington, 37, of Orangeburg County, were arrested and charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting at a South Carolina Highway Patrol trooper early Saturday morning. The incident occurred around 3 a.m. during a traffic stop on Bamburg Road, where a passenger fired at the officer before a pursuit ended on John C. Calhoun Drive. The trooper was unharmed. Washington also faces an additional charge of possessing a weapon during a violent crime. Both men were denied bond and are held at the Orangeburg County Jail.
