SOUTH CAROLINA — One person is dead and at least nine others are injured following a mass shooting during a large Juneteenth celebration in Anderson County on Saturday night.

According to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a large gathering along Scarborough Road shortly after a fight broke out.

The shooting occurred just after 10:00 p.m., and dozens of law enforcement officers were called to the scene.

The Anderson County Coroner’s Office identified the deceased as 35-year-old Laporshia Cobb, who died after being shot in the abdomen.

One victim was airlifted to a hospital, and eight others were transported to medical facilities in Anderson and Greenville. Authorities said two of the victims sustained severe injuries.
