The victim of the shooting told police he was at the courthouse for a child support hearing when the confrontation happened between himself and two other people -- one of them Vanlandingham. The criminal complaint says the argument moved outside -- when Vanlandingham said he would "take care of this" -- and threatened to shoot the victim. Police say Vanlandingham then walked to his car, pulled out a gun, shot the victim twice and drove away.
Vanlandingham is due back in court on Oct. 29.
