Upon arrival, officers found two victims who had been shot. Both individuals received immediate medical attention from fire personnel and AMR paramedics before being transported to a trauma center, where they are currently in critical condition.
SCPD investigators began an urgent follow-up and learned that an altercation had occurred in the parking lot before the shooting.
