A man and his stepdaughter were killed and a third person was severely injured after all three were shot following a minor traffic accident on Highway 521 between Georgetown and Andrews Monday afternoon.
Georgetown County Coroner Kenny Johnson has identified the two who were killed as 45-year-old Charles Nicholas Wall and 21-year-old Laura Ashley Anderson.
The surviving victim has been identified by family members as Paul McConnell. He remains hospitalized with a head and other injuries.
When the incident was dispatched, deputies were told there had been a fender bender accident at the intersection of Highway 521 and Indian Hut Road and shots had been fired.

The suspect ran from the scene on foot, leaving his car behind.
At around 5:30 PM, he was spotted and was chased by deputies but escaped after running in another wooded area.

About ten minutes later, he was taken into custody.

It is unknown when he will have a bond hearing. Suspects charged with murder must appear before a circuit court judge to have bond set.
