Active Shooter Reported in South Carolina Mall Just as State's Primary Votes Are Counted

While the primary votes rolled in and presidential candidate and gun advocate Donald Trump soared to victory, an active shooter was reported at a mall in Harbison, South Carolina.

According to local WLTX News, the incident occurred around 7 p.m. on Saturday night, and the mall was quickly evacuated.

It’s worth pointing out, on this historic night, that the current Republican presidential frontrunner is running on a platform that advocates for less regulation of gun ownership.

Police are currently searching the area, and have not yet identified any victims. We will update this post when more information is available.
