Scary moment in SC this weekend…

Cops: Woman pointed gun at Rep. Trey Gowdy

A woman was arrested Sunday evening for threatening freshman Rep. Trey Gowdy with a gun, according to police.

The South Carolina Republican was in the parking lot of his church in Spartanburg waiting for his daughter when Gloria Yvonne Brackett pointed a gun in his direction, a police report said.

Brackett asked Gowdy to “stop following her,” the police report says. Gowdy replied that he wasn’t following her but was merely waiting for his daughter. After another similar interaction, Gowdy put his car in reverse, and Brackett chased the vehicle on foot. He drove directly to the police department and was escorted back to the church by police officers to pick up his daughter.

Brackett, 52, of Jonesboro, Ga., was jailed on charges that she was carrying the weapon illegally, according to local media reports.
There’s no evidence that Gowdy knew Brackett.
