1 dead in shooting on St. Helena Island. No suspects in custody, police say
One man is dead in a shooting on St. Helena Island on Wednesday afternoon, according to police.
The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office responded to the shooting on Stonewood Road at 1 p.m., according to Maj. Bob Bromage.
There are no other victims. The scene is still active, and police are interviewing witnesses, said Bromage. There are no suspects in custody.
The Beaufort County Coroner’s Office is also on the scene, according to Coroner Ed Allen. Details on the deceased have not been released.
This is the third homicide in Beaufort County in one week. A man in Bluffton was found dead in his home on Tuesday, and a shooting at a party in Grays Hill left one dead on Saturday.
Correction: A release from the Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday erroneously reported the street where the shooting took place. The agency corrected it in a later release to Stonewood Road.
