 Gunshots erupt at party location for third time in a month in Edgefield web posted November 15, 2008 EDGEFIELD – Another disturbance erupted in gunfire early Saturday morning at the “Center” on Macedonia Street in Edgefield that brought Edgefield Police and Sheriff’s Deputies to the scene. Details of the incident are still being collected and EMS was called to respond for an injury. At this time, no one was reportedly hit by the gunfire. This is the third report of shots fired at the popular party location since October. Edgefield Police were still investigating the incident well after 3 am Saturday. The injured party was the victim of an assault, not the gunfire, early information indicated. According to information obtained by EdgefieldDaily.com, the problems erupted shortly after Johnston Police called for additional help with a situation at a nightclub there just after 2 am Saturday. As Edgefield Police arrived at “The Center”, two shots rang out bringing officers and Sheriff’s Deputies racing to the scene. As officers began investigating an additional three to four shots rang out, according to different reports. Edgefield Police and Sheriff’s Deputies cordoned off a large area around the popular location and began collecting evidence that was said to include shell casings found at the scene, one independent source said. Police did not confirm that report in an inquiry at 3:40 am. The investigation was continuing well into the morning hours and no arrests had made by press time. A caller to 911 reported that a man was “bleeding badly” at the Woodland Apartments, off nearby Jeter Street just before 4 am from unknown injuries. It is unknown at this writing if the two calls were related. “The Center”, a popular location on Macedonia Street for parties for surrounding community residents, has been the heart of continued problems including fights and gunfire in Edgefield that has resulted in the recovery of weapons and drugs in the past. EdgefieldDaily.com will provide more information when official reports become available. ©
