The presence of a gun was confirmed by Jennifer Timmons, a spokeswoman for the Columbia Police Department.
Timmons said the woman “presented” the gun at the scene, where accused assailant James Kester’s car had come to a stop amid the low-lying memorial tombstones and plaques. The woman had a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon in public, Timmons said. . . .
A dozen people were injured, none fatally but several seriously, when the car mowed into them during the early afternoon service.
Kester, 64, who faces 12 counts of attempted murder, weaponized his car to try to kill mourners, police and warrants said. Kester was seeking revenge against the S.C. Department of Mental Health, which had treated his daughter, who died last year. . . .
