In a recent turn of events, a late-night shooting on Tuesday left two dead in a downtown neighborhood of Charleston, South Carolina.

Event Details

Around 10 pm, officers of the Charleston Police Department reported hearing gunshots on Johnson Street, located between America and Hanover Streets. Responding to the scene shortly after, they discovered two gunshot victims. Tragically, both victims would later be declared dead.

Following Events

No Connection with the Shooting

Lt. Gibson clarified that the public disorderly conduct arrest had no connection with the two fatalities from the shooting. However, as of now, no arrests have been made related to the unfortunate shooting incident.

The Charleston County Coroner’s Office is yet to release the names of the deceased victims. The investigation into the matter remains ongoing, according to Gibson.
