A 21-year-old man was shot in the chest at a party early Monday morning and driven to a hospital by the man suspected of shooting him.

Corey Frye, 19, is accused of shooting the man with a handgun at a party at 5001 Kirk Hill Road, according to Columbia police Sgt. Scott Young. The shooting occurred just after midnight, police said. Frye was later arrested and charged with assault.

The weapon recovered from the scene had been intentionally defaced to remove the serial number, Young said.

Frye faces charges of first-degree assault, armed criminal action and possession of a defaced firearm. The victim, whose name has not been released, is expected to survive.

Police did not say what prompted the shooting.
