The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) is investigating a shooting that occurred early on Monday, Sept. 30, in the Newberry Circle area of Big Estate.
Around 1:30 a.m., deputies responded to a residence and found one victim suffering from a gunshot wound.
Deputies learned that a residence that was occupied in the area was struck with gunfire multiple times, which appears to have resulted in a 64-year-old man to become wounded.
The man suffered a non-threatening wound, according to the release sent out by BCSO on Monday.
