A gathering of old high school classmates at a South Carolina bar turned deadly early Sunday morning after four people were killed and 20 more were wounded in a mass shooting.
The shooting unfolded around 1 a.m. on Sunday at Willie’s Bar and Grill on St. Helena Island, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. The bar’s owner, Willie Terrell, told local outlet WJCL the venue was hosting an “alumni party” for graduates from Battery Creek High School. It was one of multiple alumni parties scheduled this weekend, he said.
