‘I’m thinking my mom was dead:’ Woman recounts night of terror in Surfside Beach neighborhood

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — A bullet-riddled TV.

A severed gas line in the kitchen.

Shattered glass on a sliding door.

Holes punched into a wall above a mirror.

Images of a chaotic night that could have ended in unspeakable tragedy are everywhere inside a South Reindeer Road house that was the centerpiece of a Sept. 12 shooting spree authorities called “mass mayhem” and ended with the arrest of 60-year-old Neil Wade Brown.

“I know she’s grateful to be alive. But it’s very upsetting to walk into your home and it doesn’t look like your home anymore,” Amber Urban, whose mother was among Brown’s victims, told News13 on Monday.

Urban said she got a call around 9 p.m. from a neighbor saying they heard multiple gunshots coming from her mother’s home.

“I immediately jumped in my car. The last thing I saw when on her (mother’s) cameras her ex-boyfriend walk into her house with two guns,” Urban said. “I’m thinking my mom was dead. It was very scary. It was probably the scariest moment of my life.”
