His daughter Brianna and her fiancé, Jacob, have spent the past three days by his side in the intensive care unit of a local hospital. “The last words he said to my mom before he walked out of home was, ‘I love you and Bree,’” she said.

DENMARK, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - Residents in Denmark only have about two weeks to postmark Letters of Objection to a proposed settlement over the town’s drinking water before automatically being opted in. The preliminary settlement amount of $1,000,000 will be reduced to about $600,000 after legal fees, which some residents believe is just a drop in the bucket. Boxes of medical records still sit untouched on Pauline Brown and Eugene Smith’s dining room floor.

AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - A string of shootings in Covington, Georgia which left two people dead and another injured, ends in Aiken County. Aiken County deputies say 24-year-old Dwayne Eduh shot himself when they confronted him just before four this morning on the eastbound lane of Interstate 20 at the Wagener exit. Aiken County deputies were called in to assist which means this isn’t their case, so they don’t have a lot of information.
