According to Greenville County Sheriff’s spokesperson Lt. Jimmy Bolt. The incident took place at Lavish Lounge in Greenville, South Carolina, just before 2 a.m. when Greenville County sheriff’s deputies a big commotion outside of the establishment and called for backup due to “active gunfire from inside the building.” When authorities arrived, they immediately began administering aid to the shooting victims.
Sheriff Hobart Lewis said there were over a hundred people inside the nightclub. It was a violation of Governor Henry McMaster’s executive order which restricts nightclubs and any type of concert. However, it is unclear if venue possibly filed for an appeal of that order which would have allowed them to operate.
As of right now, there has been no confirmation yet on the identities of the victims and authorities did not elaborate on the conditions of the eight people injured in the shooting other than to say that they are all in “various conditions” at the present time.
