2 wounded in incident employee, witnesses describe as self-defense

A North Charleston man died early Saturday and two others were injured after a club bouncer used a firearm to fend off attackers, police said.

Airrion Rogers, 24, of North Charleston, fired two shots at two men who were attacking him with baseball bats as he tried to break up a parking-lot brawl outside Esmeralda club at 1310 Remount Road, according to a police report.

As of Saturday night, no one had been arrested or charged in the incident, and police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting, said North Charleston police spokesman Spencer Pryor. He said if there are any criminal charges in connection with the incident, they will be announced after detectives meet Monday.
