1 dead, 2 injured in North Charleston shooting

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Authorities are investigating a deadly Wednesday afternoon shooting in North Charleston.

Deputy Chief Ken Hagge with the North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) said officers responded to a ‘shots fired’ call off Hunter’s Ridge Lane just after 2:30 p.m.

First-arriving officers found a male victim deceased from a gunshot wound at the scene. Additional officers arrived and found two more male victims suffering from gunshot wounds – they were taken to an area hospital for treatment.

A spokesman for North Charleston PD, Harve Jacobs, said both victims were stable.

Deputy Chief Hagge said very little is known about the shooting but they believe it may have been a drive-by.

“At this point, a vehicle driving by possibly shot the victims. NCPD Detectives and the Dorchester County Coroner are investigating,” said Jacobs. “This is an ongoing investigation.”

Deputy Chief Hagge said the department will review some cameras that are in the area and neighbor footage.
