Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

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.
