One person was killed and another was injured in a shooting early Tuesday morning, Oct. 27, outside a Food Lion grocery store in Chesnee, according to the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office.
What happened
Deputies said the shooting happened outside the Food Lion on South Alabama Avenue. One person died, and a second person was hurt. The extent of that person’s injuries has not been released.
A suspect is in custody, deputies said. The sheriff’s office has not released the suspect’s name, any charges, or the name of the person who died.
Scene and closures
Crime scene tape was also put up around several nearby businesses in the same shopping area, including a laundromat, a car wash and other storefronts. Part of a nearby Hardee’s was taped off, but customers could still use the other side.
Food Lion said the store would stay closed for the day and directed questions to law enforcement.
Schools on normal schedule
Spartanburg School District 2 said nearby schools were operating on a normal schedule, with school resource officers on campus as usual.
The investigation is ongoing. We’ll update this story as more details are released.
