Army Spc. Winston Hencely of Effingham County near Savannah was 20 years old when he spotted a man wearing a bulky vest heading toward the assembly point for a Veterans Day 5K run, according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, Greenville Division.
