At 9:38 on Monday night, Hardeeville police responded to “a report of a male subject attempting to remove a victim out of their car at gunpoint,” according to WSAV.
Witnesses told police the direction they watched the alleged assaulter travel on foot thereafter and gunshots soon rang out. Police then found two men, one of whom had been shot and died at the scene.
On Tuesday, the Hardeeville Police Department (HPD) released a statement:
Detectives with the Hardeeville Police Department continue to investigate this incident. Initial evidence and investigative information caused Detectives to suspect the deceased subject in this case was actively involved in attempted armed assaults on potential victims when he encountered an armed citizen who protected himself.
WSAV pointed out that HPD believes the deceased alleged assaulter was “a suspected multiple offender.”
