ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) — A shooting in a small South Carolina city involving sheriff's deputies has left a man dead and a woman injured.
Anderson County Sheriff Chad McBride says the deputies were caught in an "ambush situation" Tuesday night when fired upon from a hill next to a Lowe's parking lot in Anderson.
The deputies returned fire and struck two people.
McBride says the deputies were searching for two people who ran out of a car after an attempted traffic stop and pursuit. A police dog was also killed.
The state's investigative law enforcement agency is investigating. At least two of the deputies are on paid administrative leave.
