HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC (WTOC) -
The
Beaufort County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting of a man injured
at a Hilton Head apartment complex on Sunday afternoon.
Deputies
responded at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday to Hilton Head Gardens at 11 Southwood Park
Dr. on reports of shots fired near a pond in the apartment complex, according
to the sheriff's office.
While
headed to the apartment complex, deputies were notified that a gunshot victim
had arrived at the Hilton Head Hospital emergency room.
Deputies
made contact with a 31-year-old Hardeeville man at the hospital, who was being
treated for several gunshot wounds. He said he and a friend went to the
apartments to visit a woman. As they were walking through the complex, they
heard gunshots behind them.
