CHESNEE, SC (WYFF) - A former employee of an Upstate funeral home tried to ambush employees Thursday morning, but his AR-15 jammed and the only shot fired missed, the sheriff says.
Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright said the former employee, later identified Gregory Scott Greene, 51, worked at Eggers Funeral Home in Chesnee until he quit about a month ago.
Wright said Greene had a duplicate key made before he turned his key back in to the business.
Wright said Greene went to the funeral home just before 9 a.m., turned off the alarm and waited for other employees to come to work.
