Westminster shooting–one dead, one wounded
A 20-year old woman in Westminster was shot dead last night. One other, a 17-year old male, was wounded and airlifted to a hospital. Coroner Addis says Annalyssa Marie Bionoilillo-Rodriguez was pronounced dead at the scene of a gunshot to the chest. Police Chief Rory Jones said at 7:52 law enforcement went to the corner of Anderson Avenue and Lakeside Drive. A third victim, a 14-year old, according to Jones, was not struck by any rounds. The police have announced an arrest. Charles Stephen Trapp Jr., 19-year old resident of Park Avenue, was charged with murder, attempted murder, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. The shootings are another incident of similar incidents plaguing Oconee’s third largest municipality. Earlier last night, during a city council meeting, the council passed a resolution that will prohibit gun owners from open carrying their weapons this week during the downtown portions of the South Carolina Apple Festival.
