KERSHAW COUNTY, S.C. — The Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office says the investigation into a Wednesday afternoon shooting is still underway as deputies work to determine whether the shooting was a crime or self-defense.Sheriff Lee Boan shared new details on Friday afternoon regarding the shooting that happened in the 2400 block of Haile Street near Camden, as deputies work through additional details. The sheriff said the two people involved in the shooting incident, a visitor and a homeowner, had a longstanding friendship leading up to the shooting.
“They’ve gone back for years, and their families have gone back for years,” the sheriff said. “Really good friendship; really long-term friendship between both people involved.”
But an argument over the phone allegedly led to the face-to-face confrontation at the resident’s home.
Based on preliminary details, Sheriff Boan said the resident exited the home with a gun and told the visitor to leave. However, as the visitor was going to his vehicle, the resident allegedly opened fire, striking the victim twice.
“At some point, while the visitor is going back to his truck. The resident felt the need to fire shots at our visitor, striking him multiple times,” the sheriff said. “Now, in all fairness, there was a firearm inside a visitor’s vehicle located in the center console.”
Investigators said the resident then left the scene.

Man armed with machete confronts Conroe police officer in park
CONROE, Texas — A 32-year-old man is recovering in the hospital after being shot by a Conroe police officer Monday evening when he allegedly swung a machete and moved toward the officer in MLK Park, according to the Conroe Police Department.
The incident happened around 7:44 p.m. on June 9, after multiple 911 calls reported a man armed with a machete walking through MLK Park on Avenue M, swinging the weapon.
When a patrol officer arrived and attempted to talk to the man, identified as Zachary Raychel, police say he ignored commands and continued to swing the machete while yelling, “shoot me.” As he moved toward the officer, the officer, fearing for his safety, fired a single round, striking Raychel.
Raychel was given immediate life-saving aid and transported to a local hospital in stable condition, police said.
