SPARTANBURG, SC  —  Deputies from Spartanburg County have accused a firefighter of being involved in a drive-by shooting over the weekend that targeted his girlfriend’s ex-husband.  Authorities there claim 31-year-old Milton Mauger of the Cherokee Springs Fire Department fired four shots from his car at a home on Casey Creek Road early Saturday morning.
