Upon arrival on the scene, deputies were advised that the victim was entering their residence when the two men allegedly began firing a gun into the occupied home.
An investigation into the incident allegedly revealed that the men were also located on Paisley Street in the Hemingway area of Williamsburg County and discharged a firearm at another victim. The victims in both incidents were not injured, police said.
The men were arrested on March 2 by the Williamsburg County Sheriff’s Office, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, Florence County Sheriff’s Office and taken to the Williamsburg County Detention Center.
WCSO said an investigation into the two shootings is ongoing.
