ROCK HILL - A man told Rock Hill police responding to neighbors’ calls about shots fired Thursday that he shot his gun at copperhead snakes he found under a tarp in his yard.

Neighbors on Willowbrook Avenue and Kimbrook Avenue called police just before noon Thursday after hearing as many as five shots in the residential area, a Rock Hill Police Department report states. Officers searching the area found a man on a nearby street who admitted he fired the handgun several times after finding the serpents when he was doing yard work.
