A South Carolina man was shot and killed by a shotgun booby trap allegedly set up by one of his family members, police said on Tuesday. Jordan Dove, 34, was wounded by a shotgun blast upon arriving to a vacant home on Monday in Saint Matthews, South Carolina, a town about 35 miles south of Columbia, according to the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office. Dove was transported to a nearby hospital by emergency personnel before succumbing to his injury later that day, the sheriff's office said.
'A perimeter was set around the residence as deputies slowly made entry into the home where they encountered a shotgun that was rigged at the back door to go off once any one attempted to gain entry.' 'A further sweep of the residence showed the front door was barricaded shut with no other occupants inside,' the statement said. The sheriff's office added that the home belonged to one of Dove's family members.
