Casual chat turns to robbery and shooting
What started as a casual conversation inside a home near Westminster turned into a shooting and a robbery. Oconee Sheriff’s Office says the investigation into what happened inside a Holly Springs community home near U-S 76, the Long Creek Highway, Tuesday night turned into an investigation that continued yesterday. A man inside that home was wounded in the leg and received an air flight to medical treatment. The sheriff’s office gives this account: “…a female entered the residence of the victim and began to have casual conversation with the victim. While turning away from the female, a male….entered the residence and demanded money. After being asked to leave….the male fired a shot at the victim, which struck him in the leg, and then took an undisclosed amount of money.” So far, no arrest reported. A Crimestoppers alert is posted for information that leads to the solving of the crimes.
