Gunshot victim
A man who says he was using his rifle to shoot at dragonflies shot his friend in the head Tuesday afternoon.
Deputies were told the victim — a Johnsonville man — would meet them at Carvers Bay High School.
“Not knowing where the victim may be or where the shooter was, I advised the administration of Carvers Bay School to lock down the campus for student safety,” Deputy Ryan Owens wrote in his report. “Carvers Bay Middle was locked down as well.”
The truck with the victim was spotted at Carvers Bay Convenience Store, so deputies went there to talk to him but were unable to do so because he was bleeding profusely.
“EMS took him and immediately started to work on him,” the report states.
During the time he was alert, the man was able to tell deputies the shooting was an accident.
Reportedly, the victim and a 38-year-old Johnsonville man were in the woods in a nearby hunting club practicing with a rifle.
The older man said he was trying to shoot some dragonflies when the victim walked in front of him and was shot in the head.
The case has been ruled an accident by county investigators.
The victim was flown to a Charleston hospital. He was alert when he was being transported.
