Man, officer injured in N. Charleston officer-involved shooting, police confirm
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating a Friday night officer-involved shooting in North Charleston that sent a man and a police officer to an area hospital.
SLED spokesperson Renée Wunderlich confirmed her agency was on the scene investigating the situation.
North Charleston Police say the situation unfolded at approximately 8:05 p.m. when an officer responded to the 5000 block of Braddock Avenue where a suspicious person acting “in an erratic manner and making incoherent statements” had been reported. The officer found the man as he was attempting to enter a home on Alpha Street, police spokesman Harve Jacobs said.
The officer attempted to detain the man, who became more combative and during a struggle, the man managed to break free and force himself into the home, Jacobs said.
The homeowner confronted the man and Jacobs said shots were fired by both the homeowner and the police officer.
Both the officer and the man were taken to area hospitals for treatment.
Police say the man who broke into the home was injured in the shooting and that the North Charleston Police officer suffered injuries in the fight.
Police have not yet released the name of the man the officer was trying to detain or any charges he may face.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division was notified and assumed the investigation as per standard protocol when a police officer fires a weapon.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – University of South Carolina saxophone professor Dr. Clifford Leaman was honored this spring, becoming a lifetime honorary member of the North American Saxophone Alliance. Leaman has been teaching classical saxophone at the university level for over 40 years. Only around a dozen saxophonists hold this prestigious honor.
“I am deeply honored and humbled to join the other saxophonists honored by this organization who have given so much of their lives to the growth and acceptance of the saxophone in the musical world,” says Leaman.
“This recognition is not just a reflection of my work, but of the many colleagues and students who have been such a driving force in my career. It would not have been possible to have achieved this honor without the supportive and stimulating musical environment at the USC School of Music.”
Our very own chief meteorologist, Adam Clark, was a student of Dr. Leaman while he was in high school.
Clark said, “Dr. Leaman’s weekly lessons helped me in all aspects of my professional life. From practicing correctly, perseverance, and putting in the hard work, it has shaped me to be who I am today, and he deserves this honor, and I am so very happy for him.”
Leaman has served on the faculties of Furman University, Eastern Michigan University, and the University of Michigan before joining the University of South Carolina, where he has been a faculty member for over 25 years.
