One suspect is dead following an officer-involved shooting near East Boundary Road and Faraway Drive, according to the Richland County Sheriff's Department.
Department spokesperson Curtis Wilson said deputies were behind a suspicious vehicle at Woodfield Park near Decker Boulevard when a short chase ensued.
