LADSON, S.C. (AP) - Authorities in South Carolina say one person is dead and another in custody after sheriff’s deputies and state troopers exchanged gunfire with a suspect.
No law enforcement officials were hurt in the incident, which began as a pursuit early Friday before ending at a highway rest stop north of Charleston.
South Carolina Highway Patrol Col. Christopher Williamson says a trooper attempted to stop a vehicle going more than 100 mph on I-95 in Orangeburg County.
Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis said deputies joined the chase, which included an exchange of gunfire. The pursuit ended at a rest stop off I-26 around Ladson, where another exchange of gunfire occurred.
Lewis said he did not immediately know whether the person who died was a bystander or suspect.
