Our firm has been investigating the tragic shooting incident that occurred at the Hilton Head Village shopping center near the Tanger Outlets in Bluffton for some time now, where two young men lost their lives and another was seriously injured.
Crime is, unfortunately, a reality in our society. While we cannot control the actions of criminals, we can control the steps taken to protect the people who walk onto our properties every day.
Business owners invite the public onto their premises, families, friends, and neighbors who simply expect to return home safely. With that invitation comes a responsibility, to take reasonable steps to keep those premises safe.
When safety measures are ignored, the consequences can be devastating. Behind every headline are grieving families, empty seats at dinner tables, and futures that were taken far too soon.
Our investigation into this incident has been ongoing, and we remain committed to uncovering the truth and holding the appropriate parties accountable. Everyone deserves to feel safe when they visit a place of business.
Our thoughts remain with the families whose lives were forever changed by this tragedy.
The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an overnight shooting that killed two people and left one injured.
