A Shocking Discovery
Dusk was settling into Woodruff when county sheriff’s deputies and coroners were alerted to the grisly scene off West Georgia Road. This otherwise tranquil town found itself thrust into a state of shock as the grim discovery was made around 9 p.m. on Friday.

Investigation Reveals Tense Scenario
A fourth person was discovered, shot but alive, able to escape the bloodshed. Before the enforcement agencies arrived, this person had been taken to a hospital in Simpsonville by a private vehicle. With the fourth person’s condition too critical to make any statement, the deputies had to rely on witnesses for their investigation.
They were successful in piecing together the tense scenario that had unfolded at the hunting ground. It seemed like what started as a dispute over who had the right to hunt in that area had escalated quickly, ending in a shootout. This alleged argument had spiraled out of control, leading to this monstrous incident.
Questions Yet Unanswered
With the investigation still active, no solid leads or arrests have been made yet. The sheriff’s office added that more information would be released after they consult with the solicitor’s office, assuring the residents that they are committed to seek justice for the victims.
Living witnesses of this horrifying incident were, ironically, family members of the deceased. They witnessed the unimaginable ordeal and have shared their heart-wrenching statements with investigators over the weekend, hoping for swift justice for their loved ones.
The apparent calm and peace of the surroundings belies the dreadful crimes committed here. Beneath the peaceful facade lies a town shaken by this horrendous act of violence that has left it in shock and mourning for the lost souls.
End of Discussion?Loved ones the victims left behind, and the citizens of Spartanburg, urge justice for this tragic incident.
