Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office deputies are en route to a domestic shooting at a home in the 2900 block of J.B. Denton Road. Just after 6:10 p.m. Thursday, radio traffic indicated that a Lancaster County Coroner’s Office staff member was also heading there. Check back later for updates.

Emergency crews responded in force to an accident on Waxhaw Highway on Feb. 20 to rescue a woman from a minivan at the bottom of an embankment.
Though the S.C. Highway Patrol has yet to return calls regarding the accident details, a witness said the 5:15 p.m. accident began several hundred feet north of where it ended, just south of the state line.
Christina Shepherd of Fort Mill said she saw the unidentified driver run off the side of the road and overcorrect. The accident occurred almost as if it were in slow motion, Shepherd said.

Sara Eddins wanted city of Lancaster employees to get an immediate pay raise. But her colleagues obviously felt differently.
Prior to voting on a mid-year budget revision at Tuesday’s meeting, the city councilwoman motioned to give all employees an immediate 4 percent raise.
Her motion died from lack of a second.
“It’s time we come through for our employees, because we need them,” Eddins said during Tuesday’s discussion.
