A man in South Carolina who killed three people more than 20 years ago is scheduled to become the third person in the state to be executed by firing squad this year.

Stephen Bryant, 44, is expected to die at 6 p.m. Friday at Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia, South Carolina.

South Carolina restarted executions in September of last year after a 13-year pause, partly related to the state struggling to keep an adequate supply of lethal injection drugs and concerns over botched lethal injection executions.
