FORT MILL, S.C. -- Police tell NBC Charlotte a woman was shot and killed at a market in York County Tuesday evening.
According to Fort Mill police, the shots were fired at The Peach Stand in the 1300 block of S.C. 160 in Fort Mill a little before 4:45 p.m.
Jack Davenport was inside the store. He couldn't believe his ears.
"My wife and I froze looked at each other like, 'Are we really hearing this?'" said Davenport. "I pushed my wife towards the door said, 'Let's get out of here.'"
Upon arrival, officers located a woman with an apparent gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene, police say.
"It's an extremely unusual occurrence here. This has been a mainstay, somewhat of a landmark in this community for quite some time, and it's frequented by a lot of people on a daily basis," said Fort Mill PD spokesperson Bryan Zachary.
Police said a suspect involved in the deadly shooting was taken into custody.
"He basically positioned himself in the store, was basically waiting on police to arrive," said Zachary.
