HUGER, S.C. — A man fired on police for more than 30 minutes in South Carolina, using a handgun, rifle and shotgun while running from hiding spot to hiding spot before he was shot and killed by officers, authorities said Tuesday.
No officers were hurt, even though the first deputy on the scene was pinned behind his SUV, which was hit by more than a dozen gunshots, until other officers could arrive, said Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis.
“He kept returning fire, moving, taking cover, shooting at the deputies. We were trying to do everything we could to end the situation peacefully,” Lewis said.
