Investigators say that the shooting happened around 2 a.m. on Friday and involved a Charleston police officer.
According to police, the officer was responding to a 911 call about a domestic dispute at a Spring Street business. Officers were sent to Frankie’s Café at 114 Spring Street in reference to that 911 call.
