south Carolina equals Leland's mass shooting with “gullah-on-gullah" mass shooting; 20 gullahs shot, 4 gullahs grab an early grave
“St. Helena island, (ap) — a mass shooting early sunday at a crowded bar on an idyllic island considered to be the largest gullah community on the south Carolina coast has left four people dead and at least 20 injured, officials said.
“a large crowd was at Willie’s bar and grill on St. Helena island when sheriff’s deputies arrived and found many people with gunshot wounds. an estimated 5,000 or more gullah people living on the island trace their ancestry back to enslaved west africans [English version: west african slaves] who once worked rice plantations in the area before being freed by [English version: White men] the civil war .
[N.S.: The media never note the White history of predominantly-White areas.]
“bar owner Willie Turral was inside the establishment, which was packed for a high school alumni event, when he heard shots going off 'in bursts' outside. he described the scene: “screaming and panic and fear.
“The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on the social platform X that many people ran to nearby businesses seeking shelter from the gunfire.
“'This is a tragic and difficult incident for everyone,” the statement said. “We ask for your patience as we continue to investigate this incident. Our thoughts are with all of the victims and their loved ones.”
“Among the injured, four were in critical condition at hospitals Sunday afternoon. The victims’ identities were not released.
“Turral said the bar was hosting an event for alumni of Battery Creek High School in Beaufort, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) northwest of St. Helena Island. He said people were having a good time when the shots were heard.
“'It was scary from the inside,' he said, with 'people not knowing what’s really going on outside, people trying to get to safety.
“Willie’s bar and grill advertises itself as serving authentic gullah-inspired cuisine and describes itself on its website as 'not just a restaurant but a community pillar committed to giving back, especially to our youth.

“smaller enclaves of gullah, referred to as geechee in some areas, are scattered along the southeast coast from north Carolina to florida. scholars [?] say separation from the mainland caused the gullah to retain much of their african heritage, including a unique dialect and skills such as cast-net fishing and basket weaving.”
GRA: Never heard of “gullahs,” though that's close to gorillas--which I HAVE heard of.

DEAD GULLAHS ID'ED--NO WITNESSES WILL NAME THE GULLAH SHOOTAHS(NATCH),SAY PO-LICE
COLUMBIA, S.C.(AP) — A sheriff said his deputies are methodically investigating a weekend mass shooting that killed four people and injured 16 more at a bar on a South Carolina island but haven't gotten the kind of help they need from the hundreds of people partying before the shooting.
No arrests have been made yet as investigators test DNA, analyze weapons and bullets, and enhance video from the crime scene of the early Sunday shooting at Willie’s Bar and Grill on St. Helena Island, Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner said Wednesday.
Investigators think the shooting started as a dispute between two or three people who grew up together in Beaufort County and started firing at each other.
“We had 700 people at this party. And we have yet to get a witness that can tell us who the shooters are. It’s ridiculous,” Tanner said.
The sheriff said he thinks people want to cooperate but fear retribution. He said they can report what they know anonymously through Crimestoppers.
Tanner took questions from reporters and the community Wednesday about the shooting that happened near last call for drinks at a party celebrating the 25th anniversary of the class of 2000 at Battery Creek High School in Beaufort.
(GRA:"Gullah" shootahs. That's a new group to keep track of--and a new scenario for a mass murder:class reunion. IF they graduated.)
Tanner called the scene horrific but not surprising considering the shots were fired indiscriminately in such a large crowd of about 300 people inside the bar itself and 400 outside.
“When that many shots are fired in a crowd with the volume of people we had — multiple people get injured. Multiple people died,” Tanner said at Wednesday's briefing.
Kashawn Glaze, 22; Chiraad Smalls, 33; Amos Gary, 54; and A’shan’tek Milledge, 22, were killed in the shooting.
