Officer Terrence Carraway of Darlington was shot and killed during a standoff between law enforcement. Deputies from the Florence County Sheriff’s Department were serving a warrant when the suspect, 74-year-old Frederick Hopkins, began shooting.

A total of seven law enforcement officers were shot including three deputies and four police officers. Chief Allen Heidler described the 30-year law enforcement veteran as “the bravest police officer,” during a press conference hours after the incident.
