The shooting happened on Norway Road around 10:30 a.m., but the sheriff said no one was wounded.

ORANGEBURG COUNTY, S.C. — The Orangeburg County sheriff said on Sunday that he was thankful no one was wounded in a shooting involving his deputies on Saturday.

"There are many incidents where not everyone goes home, but thank the Lord this was not one of them," Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said.

The sheriff said an incident unfolded at a home on Norway Road around 10:30 a.m. The sheriff said his deputies were called to the location and were involved in a confrontation with an unidentified person.

The sheriff said a shooting occurred but did not specify who shot at whom or what preceded the gunfire. Ravenell requested the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division investigate the incident independently and deferred all other questions about the shooting to that agency.
