Darlington County deputies say a man tried to kick in the back door of a home on Farrow Ridge Court about 9 a.m. Friday.

When the door didn't open, the man went around to the front door and kicked that in, deputies say.

The noise at the back door awoke the resident who met the suspect at the front door and shot at him when the door opened, hitting the suspect in the leg and butt.

The suspect ran away and into an SUV with two other men inside, deputies say.

Deputies were able to stop the SUV and arrested the two who weren't wounded.

Rakeem Bruce, 22, and Daquam James, 20, both of Darlington, are in jail on a Burglary charge.

Deputies have not released the name of the man who was shot yet. He'll be taken to jail when he's released from the hospital.

The resident is not expected to face any charges.
