South Carolina bar shooting leaves four people dead and 20 injured, officials say

Four people were killed and at least 20 wounded when gunfire erupted early Sunday at Willie’s Bar and Grill on South Carolina’s St Helena Island, authorities said. Deputies arrived to a chaotic scene as victims and witnesses fled to nearby businesses for shelter. Four of the injured were in critical condition at local hospitals; officials have not released identities. The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office called it a tragic, difficult incident and urged patience during the investigation. US Representative Nancy Mace expressed heartbreak on X. The bar advertises Gullah cuisine in a community central to Gullah Geechee culture.
