BOWMAN, S.C. (AP) – Officials in a South Carolina county plan to review the response to a deadly shooting to determine whether emergency responders followed all necessary protocols.
News outlets report three people were fatally shot early Tuesday at a Memorial Day cookout in Bowman, where at least one resident says it seemed like it took EMS a long time to respond.
Officials say nine minutes passed before 911 dispatchers were told someone may have been been shot in the gunfire. It was also a busy time for EMS crews with as many as nine deaths in the area.
