Liberty Shooting under Investigation

A shooting Wednesday night in Liberty is under investigation by the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office. Around 11:45pm, deputies were dispatched to an address on Watts Road after reports of a shooting. Arriving on the scene within three minutes, deputies discovered an adult male deceased on the back porch with visible injuries consistent of at least one gunshot. There were three other adult males at the home in addition to the deceased when the incident occurred.

One of the three surviving men was transported to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries. The Pickens County Sheriff’s Office has identified and located all parties involved and does not have any reason to believe that there is any threat to the community. The Sheriff’s Office has not taken anyone into custody as detectives continue to conduct interviews and process the scene for evidence.
