COLUMBIA, S.C. — Columbia Police are investigating a reported shooting on Garners Ferry Road that investigators believe spawned from a domestic incident. Now, they're looking for a man they consider armed and dangerous.
Investigators said officers were called to a parking lot in the 6000 block of Garners Ferry Road around 6:30 p.m., where a woman had pulled in to call 911. According to Columbia Police, the woman, who was traveling with two children, said she was driving on Garners Ferry Road when her estranged husband opened fire on her vehicle. The bullet struck a door on her vehicle. Police said the driver was hit by broken material from the door but not the bullet itself. No one else in the vehicle was wounded, police said.

In an alert shared on Friday evening, police said Davis was last seen driving a black Ford Mustang with a Georgia license plate reading SGP 2903. He is about six feet tall and 210 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes.
