JOHNS ISLAND — Charleston County Sheriff’s deputies said they confiscated nine arcade-style poker machines from a home where a man was shot with a rifle this weekend. Detectives were unsure what prompted the violence and have not identified any suspects, Sheriff’s Maj. John Clark said. They were trying to determine whether anybody even lived at the mobile home where the poker machines were found on Henry Singleton Road, a dirt track a few turns off of Main Road. Vice officers were assisting the probe. “We’re looking at robbery as a motive,” Sheriff’s Maj. John Clark said. “We’re definitely going to look into the gambling aspect of it.” The shooting left Keith Gadsden, described in a report as a 48-year-old construction worker, with a bullet wound to the upper right torso. Gadsden was listed in good condition at Medical University Hospital on Monday. For more on this case as well as on another shooting that happened early Saturday, read tomorrow's editions of The Post and Courier. |
