COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Authorities continue to search for a man who exchanged gunfire with an Allendale police officer after crashing a stolen truck.
State Law Enforcement Division spokesman Thom Berry said Thursday there’s no indication the suspect was injured. None of the three officers involved were struck.
Media outlets report a high-speed chase about 2 a.m. Wednesday ended with the man crashing into the side of a grocery store in the rural town of Allendale. The man fired as he fled and jumped over a fence.
Berry says only one of the officers fired back. The suspect’s name isn’t known.
Allendale police asked SLED to investigate.
