At approximately 4:00 today, Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a report of two black vehicles being driven recklessly—one following the other—traveling north on Sea Island Parkway, St. Helena Island. It was further reported that the driver of the lead vehicle was firing a handgun through the sunroof at the vehicle following behind.
