ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) - Two people are dead and four others wounded after separate incidents on Saturday morning in one South Carolina city.

Police are still looking for a man accused of shooting four people at a bar in the early morning hours in Rock Hill, The Rock Hill Herald reports. The suspect was on probation after recently being released from prison.

Authorities are also investigating a death after a four-and-a-half-hour standoff at a home in Rock Hill, according to The Herald. A police officer was also reportedly wounded.

Officers responded to the first incident just before 12:30 a.m. Saturday at Sports Unlimited in Rock Hill, Lt. Michael Chavis told The Herald. Four people were shot. A 30-year-old man died in the shooting; a 25-year-old man, a 27-year-old man and a 35-year-old man were wounded.

Shawn David Durham, 34, is accused of murder, three counts of attempted murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime and possession of a firearm by a person convicted of a crime of violence. Police ask that anyone with information about Durham’s whereabouts contact local authorities.

Just after 8 a.m. Saturday, police engaged in a standoff with a trespassing suspect at a home in Rock Hill. Prince Demario Barber, who lives at the house, is accused of trespassing at another home in the area earlier that morning, according to York County Sheriff’s Department Public Information Officer Trent Faris.

When officers arrived at Barber’s home, he barricaded himself inside and shot at them, authorities said. One deputy returned gunfire. An officer sustained minor wounds.

Negotiators convinced Barber to surrender just after 12:30 p.m. When authorities searched the house, a body was then located in Barber’s backyard. Officials have not yet released information about who it was.

York County deputies and State Law Enforcement Division is investigating. Deputies have not said whether charges have been filed against Barber, according to WBTV. It was not known if Barber had a lawyer.
