4 South Carolina Officers Shot In York: Authorities

YORK, SC — Authorities say four law enforcement officers including three York County deputies were shot while responding to a domestic call in York. The suspected shooter was shot and apprehended early Tuesday, authorities said.

Deputies responded to the scene just after 10 p.m. Monday for a call that a man was attacking a woman on the 3000 block of Farrier Lane, said Trent Faris of the York County Sheriff's office. The suspect had left the scene and a K-9 unit was called to help find him. Shortly after beginning tracking early Tuesday, Faris said authorities believe the suspect began shooting, striking the handler of a K-9 officer. That officer was rushed to a hospital for treatment.

At about 3:30 a.m., gunshots erupted again and three York County Sheriff's deputies were shot, Faris said. Their names and extent of their injuries are being withheld. The shooting was near the home.

Two officers had to be airlifted to a hospital. The third was rushed by ambulance.

The suspect, identified as Christian Thomas McCall, 47, was also shot and has been taken into custody, police said.
