The founder of an anti-abortion group has been charged in connection with a shooting outside a Planned Parenthood in South Carolina earlier this month.

Mark Baumgartner, 56, was arrested Tuesday in connection with the Nov. 14 incident, during which a man was shot during a confrontation outside the Columbia Planned Parenthood, according to local police. Baumgartner allegedly pepper sprayed and then shot the victim when the argument turned physical.

Video of the incident recorded by an onlooker shows Baumgartner in a hi-visibility vest spraying something in the man’s face and running away. The other man then begins chasing Baumgartner across a parking lot and hitting him as they fall to the ground, before a third man intervenes and jumps on the victim’s back.
