Two people were killed, including a teenager, when gunfire erupted at a rural South Carolina block party that drew up to 1,000 revelers in spite of government warnings against large gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic, authorities said.
just before 8 p.m. on Saturday in an unincorporated area about nine miles outside Union, South Carolina, after the Union County Sheriff's Department responded to a complaint of vehicles blocking a roadway, Major Scott Coffer told ABC News on Sunday.
Coffer said a DJ was spinning tunes when a sheriff's deputy arrived at the party, which was on private property, and asked him to make an announcement for partygoers to move their cars. He said the deputy was arranging for several cars that were not moved to be towed when he heard the first shots, prompting him to call for backup.He said two young men were discovered mortally wound. One was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was taken to Union Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, the Union County Coroner's Office said in a statement to ABC News on Sunday.
Another five people were taken to hospitals with gunshot wounds and are expected to recover, Coffer said.
