SOUTH CAROLINA: Summerville man dies, N. Charleston man arrested after shootout with 13-year-old.

Lamar Anthwan Brown, 31, of Summerville, died at Trident Medical Center of gunshot wounds . . .

Bennett, 28, of Kent Avenue in North Charleston has been charged with first-degree burglary and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. . . .

Both Bennett and Brown have extensive criminal histories, according to a check with the State Law Enforcement Division. Bennett has been convicted of assault with intent to kill, pointing a firearm at a person and third-degree burglary. . . .

Brown’s convictions included six felony drug charges. He had also been convicted of unlawful carrying of a weapon, disorderly conduct and trespassing. . . .

The boy’s mother said that she had the gun at the house for protection, but she had never trained her son to use it.

“I tell my kids that if anything ever happens to call 911, but I also tell them to protect themselves if they have to,” she said. “I never would have dreamed that this would have been a part of our day today.”
