Man killed by security guard in June shooting at Purple City Club — Dcso, Washington

DCSO, Washington — An investigation following the Purple City nightclub shooting earlier this summer has identified the shooter, and determined the shooting was "justified," according to the Darlington Sheriff's Office (DCSO).

Darlington County deputies responded to reports of a physical altercation inside the club.

Zae-kwon Washington, later identified as the deceased, went outside the club and retrieved a fully automatic firearm from a vehicle, according to DCSO Sheriff Michael August Jefferson in a written statement.

Washington then opened fire outside the building at bystanders and vehicles leaving the scene, August said.
