CHESTER, S.C. — Deputies are investigating a deadly shooting that happened Monday morning in Chester.
Deputies were out on Pinckney Street near Bratton Street around 10:20 a.m. Investigators said one person died, according to the Chester County Sheriff’s Office.
Ernest Shivers rushed to the scene after he heard there was a shooting in front of his daughter’s house.
“I instantly got in my car and came up to see what was going on,” Shivers said. “I checked on my daughter. She was still upset.”
A young male was using a weed eater in the yard when someone ran up to him, shot him multiple times, then ran away, witnesses said.
However, the Chester County Sheriff’s Office did not confirm those details.
