Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a Pops Drive home on Tuesday where they discovered one person dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Maj. Rene Williams said.

Williams said another person in the home was injured and transported to a local hospital, but didn’t he know the person’s condition or whether the injuries were life-threatening.

A neighbor who lives across the street said she didn’t know the residents, but had seen them interact with their children, wash cars and have cookouts. She said they lived there for just over a year.

“They seemed like a nice couple,” said the neighbor, who asked not to be named.

Deputies arrived on the scene just after 11 a.m. Tuesday. Not long after that, the Orangeburg County Coroner’s Office arrived.

As deputies entered the home, a plush stuffed bear was seen on one of the wooden steps leading to the front door.

Three vehicles were parked in the front yard and a fishing pole was on the ground next to one of them.

Throughout the early afternoon, deputies could be seen interviewing neighbors.
