Incident # 18-03687 – Two adult males were injured in a shooting incident Saturday morning 26-May at the corner of Hendersonville Hwy (US Hwy 17-A) and Jonesville Ave. At 06:50 Colleton 9-1-1 was notified of shots fired in the area and shortly there after a caller reported an individual lying in the street. Before units arrived, 9-1-1 received another report of a second person lying in the street. An additional Fire-Rescue ambulance was assigned to the incident. When Fire-Rescue Medic 13 arrived, they advised of two male patients with multiple gun shot wounds and one patient was critical. A medical helicopter was requested, but could not fly due to fog. Both patients were quickly treated at the scene, then transported emergent to the Emergency Department at Colleton Medical Center in Walterboro with additional Firefighter-Paramedics assisting with their care. A vehicle at the location was also shot several times. A surgeon was brought to the ED to assist in the care of one patient. Weather conditions improved after sunrise and the critical patient was then flown by the C.A.R.E. Flight medical helicopter to the Trauma Center at Trident Medical Center in North Charleston. The Colleton County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the crime.
