BISHOPVILLE, S.C. — Bishopville Police say one juvenile victim is recovering after a shooting on Tuesday evening as investigators continue searching for the shooter.

As of Thursday afternoon, police were still looking for a suspect in the shooting and didn't have a specific description of that person. Chief Dellinger said he was limited in what he could release about the victim but said that person was stable.
He added that there haven't been any recent reports of gun violence in the area but he did suggest there have been reports of shots fired in the area. Those cases of gunfire have not resulted in any injuries or known property damage.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office assisted Bishopville Police in Tuesday's investigation.
