A Monday shooting at a Fort Mill nightlife spot left one person wounded and sent to the hospital, according to deputies. The gunfire broke out at Blue Olive Lounge in the Crossroads Plaza shopping center, where York County deputies found a victim suffering from gunshot wounds. Authorities said the injured person was taken to a hospital in Rock Hill.
According to WCNC, deputies responding to the scene confirmed the victim had been shot, citing the sheriff’s incident report. Reporter Anders J.
