A man was shot in the abdomen early Thursday in Rock Hill, but the shooting was not fatal, police said.

It was the third shooting in the city in 24 hours.

The three shooting incidents are not related, said Lt. Michael Chavis of the Rock Hill Police Department.

Police responded to Reynolds Street around 4 a.m. Thursday where they found a man, 20, who had been shot in the abdomen, according to Chavis and a police incident report. The victim told officers he was shot while at another location on Fairway Circle, Chavis said.

The victim remained in surgery Thursday morning, Chavis said. His name has not been released.

No arrests have been made as detectives investigate.

Two other shootings in Rock Hill

There were two other shootings in the city in a span of 24 hours.

Around 6 a.m. Wednesday, a man was shot and killed outside apartments on Ligon Drive near Celanese Road and Interstate 77. Police and York County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a suspect on a murder charge shortly afterward.

Then before noon, a man was wounded and a woman pistol-whipped at a domestic violence incident at a motel near I-77 and Cherry Road. The suspect in that shooting was later found and arrested on several charges, including domestic violence and assault and battery. The shooting victim in that case is expected to survive, police said.

Both of the suspects in the earlier shootings remain jailed.

  • Johnny Depp denied appeal in case that found 'wife beater' article about him 'substantially true'

    Johnny Depp has just been dealt a major loss in court. The actor on Thursday was denied permission to appeal in his libel case against a British tabloid that referred to him as a "wife beater," Deadline reports. Depp lost this libel case in November after he sued News Group Newspapers, publisher of The Sun, over an article describing him as a "wife beater" in reference to allegations against him by his ex-wife, Amber Heard. During a trial, Heard testified on her claims of domestic abuse, alleging Depp "explicitly threatened to kill me many times," while Depp denied her claims and alleged that she hit him. Judge Andrew Nicol ultimately concluded that what The Sun published was "substantially true." Depp, according to Variety, had been calling for a re-trial in the case and hoped to introduce evidence claiming that Heard allegedly lied about donating her divorce settlement to charity. But the Court of Appeal decided Thursday that the judge in the case "gave thorough reasons for his conclusions which have not been shown even arguably to be vitiated by any error of approach or mistake of law." The court also said Depp's appeal had "no real prospect of success." A spokesperson for Heard told Deadline they're "pleased but by no means surprised" by this decision, while Depp's lawyer "seriously questioned" it and promised he'll present "irrefutable evidence of the truth" in a separate libel case against Heard herself. Depp, who departed the Fantastic Beasts franchise in the aftermath of the trial outcome last year, is suing Heard for defamation, and that trial is expected to begin next year.

Ahead of the summit, French President Emmanuel Macron spelt out the frustration over vaccine rollouts that are far behind those of Britain and the United States, acknowledging that European leaders had been too timid.
