Richland County deputies are investigating a pair of seemingly unrelated shootings that happened early Sunday morning.
According to a sheriff’s department release, deputies received a call at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday that a woman had been shot in the lower body and was taken to a local hospital.
Per the sheriff’s department, the woman was walking to her car outside of Baker’s Bar and Grill on Two Notch Road when she was hit by gunfire. The sheriff’s department said the woman did not realize she’d been injured until she arrived home.
