Shots reported near SC power facility, no damage found
RIDGEWAY, S.C. (AP) — Duke Energy said no property damage was found at a Duke Energy facility in South Carolina after reports of gunfire nearby. Thousands of Duke Energy customers in neighboring North Carolina lost power over the weekend after authorities said one or more people drove up to two substations, breached the gates and opened fire. Duke Energy said it’s looking into separate reports of gunfire Wednesday near the Wateree Hydro Station in Ridgeway, South Carolina. A company statement says no one was harmed, no outages were reported and there was no known property damage. The company said it is working with the FBI.
