Authorities in Charleston, S.C. said Thursday they are investigating a possible “active shooter” situation in the downtown area.
Police spokesman Charles Francis said a shooting was reported just after noon on King Street, which is a row of restaurant and shops where tourists frequently gather.
He did not immediately report any injuries or information about a potential suspect. No other details were immediately available.
Tom and Patsy Plant told the Post and Courier newspaper that they were eating at Virginia’s restaurant when they saw a man with a gun in his hand come out of the kitchen, saying “There’s a new boss in town.”
