**Wednesday 10:55 a.m. Update**

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office is trying to find a suspect in the shooting of a man who survived a wound to his head.

Investigators say it happened around 7:30pm in the driveway of a home at 416 Bridges Road in Mauldin. The incident started when a man - who turned out to be the shooting suspect - climbed into the car with the victim and a driver at a gas station in the Five Forks area.

When they returned to the Bridges Road location, the three men exited the car when a silver Toyota pulled up beside them. That's when the man was shot and the suspected gunman fled to the second vehicle.

The victim was found face-down in the driveway by deputies. He was taken to Greenville Hospital System with a single gunshot wound to the back of the head.

The man was treated for his injuries, which were not life threatening. He was released from the hospital.

He is talking to investigators who are trying to piece together the relationship between the three people.

When deputies arrived, they found Kenneth Hood, 25, vwith a single gun shot wound to the head inside a car at the residence. Soon after that, another call came in stating a man was hiding behind a house several doors down. Deputies apprehended the man, who is now being questioned in the shooting.
