Orangeburg SC Aug 27 2022
A man fired a gun at a security guard on Orangeburg County School District-owned property around midnight Friday.
An Orangeburg Department of Public Safety officer was dispatched to assist the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office at the Nix Building at 770 Stilton Road in reference to a subject discharging a handgun at a security officer, according to an Orangeburg DPS incident report.
The security officer informed law enforcement that a subject came onto the property and argued with him before presenting and shooting the gun, the report said.
After discharging the gun, the subject got into a silver Nissan Rogue with a handicap placard and drove down Felder Street to a residence, according to the report.
Several spent 40-caliber shells casings were located at the intersection of Felder Street and Nix Road, according to the report.
During the course of the investigation, the vehicle was located at a residence.
The resident informed law enforcement that her son stayed at her residence on a regular basis, but she was unaware if he was in the residence because she was sleeping, according to the report.
The Nix property is used by the OCSD as office space. In addition, meetings and conferences are held in the training center on the backside of the campus.
The incident is under investigation by law enforcement.
