Multiple law enforcement officers have told FITSNews several pedestrians were struck in Charleston either during or after a vehicular pursuit by the North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) this afternoon. At least one fatality was reported over radio traffic, but it remains unconfirmed.
Sources have indicated the pursuit was called off for safety reasons shortly before the vehicle involved crossed into Charleston striking multiple pedestrians near Reid Street and Meeting Street — just one block from Meeting Street.

The number of casualties remains unknown at this time, but some initial reports have put the number of victims as high as ten. A video taken of the scene by a bystander shows multiple victims with one potential fatality.
This is a developing story… please check back for updates.

The moral rot of society.
How do we know that radio traffic reported at least one fatality? I thought that all Charleston County Law Enforcement was now thoroughly encrypted to keep the press and the peasants in the dark about their secret doings Encryption, pushed by Moneyrola, is infesting more police agencies in SC every month. Any agency that encrypts its dispatch traffic has no claim on “transparency”.
Where are the promised updates?
