On Feb. 22, 2017, in the Rosewood suburb of Columbia, South Carolina, Fortson fired a .41 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver into a Hispanic family’s home multiple times as they were having a meal. There was a child in the home at the time. She then fired into a Black family’s apartment as they were getting ready for bed. When a Black man came outside to get her to stop, Fortson shot him in the hip and wrist. There was a 10-year-old child and an adult in the home at the time, where another bullet entered although no one else was injured. According to witnesses, Fortson yelled derogatory slurs while shooting at her neighbors.

“All the shooting was from her backyard,” said Fifth Judicial Circuit Solicitor Byron Gipson. “She fired six shots and then reloaded.”

Authorities said Fortson resisted arrest as officers took her into custody. A sign on the door read “Forget about the dog. Beware of owner.”

The Fifth Circuit Solicitor's Office says a Richland County woman was sentenced to 20 years in prison for a shooting incident in the Rosewood Community in February 2017.
