A crowd of 700, but no witnesses? South Carolina investigation into mass shooting at bar stalls
Four people died and 16 were injured in a mass shooting during a 700-person high school reunion party at a popular bar, with no suspects identified yet.
- On Sunday, a mass shooting at Willie’s Bar and Grill on St. Helena Island killed four people and injured 16 during a Battery Creek High School reunion attended by about 700 people, Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner said.
- Indiscriminate shots struck a crowd of about 300 inside and 400 outside, and Tanner described the scene as horrific after multiple people were wounded.
- Investigators are testing DNA, analyzing weapons and bullets, and sending shell casings to state agents while the FBI enhances video footage to identify suspects.
- So far, investigators say no witness can identify the shooters, Tanner said, noting people fear retribution and urging anonymous tips via Crimestoppers as Beaufort County deputies build evidence.
- Willie’s Bar, a Gullah-inspired community pillar, is at the center of local grief, and Tanner said he will avoid revictimizing families while pursuing charges.
