The first shooting happened around 3:30 a.m. Saturday at the club located on Kensington Drive. A man was injured in the shooting and taken to a hospital with injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening, officials said.

The single-vehicle fatal wreck happened on I-26 at mile marker 24 around 4:50 a.m. Saturday morning. The coroner said Jerferron Talbert, 29, of Ware Shoals died at the scene.

“The investigation has also revealed the incident resulted from a dispute between rival gang members and is further compounded since the majority of the people involved aren’t local residents,” Bobo said.

The coroner said Talbert was not wearing a seat belt.

An autopsy has been scheduled.

“Incidents like this one are why the nightclub ordinance was proposed to county council earlier this year,” Bobo said.

4 kids steal their family's car and run away on 600-mile road trip. ( I bet they couldn't sit down for a week after that butt whooping )

Four adventurous children, between the ages of 10 and 14, packed a stolen family car with fishing rods and took off on an epic 600-mile road trip along the Australian coast, authorities have said.

One of the children left a goodbye note for their parents before leaving for the mammoth journey, which ended several hours later when police tracked down the parked car along a highway in New South Wales, authorities told CNN.

The kids likely shared driving responsibilities during the 578-mile trip from Rockhampton in Queensland to Grafton in New South Wales, police added, after taking a four-wheel-drive Nissan Patrol car belonging to one of their parents.

The runaways were taken into custody at 10:40 p.m. on Sunday evening and could now face charges.

"It's a pretty big journey. It's a long way for a person to do it, but I suppose a couple cans of Red Bull and you're likely to do anything," inspector Darren Williams told Nine News.

Police triangulated a cell phone signal to find the vehicle, Williams said. "When we got there, they wouldn't open up...they've come under notice because of illegal behavior, doing drive-offs at petrol stations," he added.

Missing person appeals were made by police in Queensland after the children were reported missing.

The journey made by the youngsters usually takes more than 10 hours, hugging the eastern Australian coast line and crossing through the cities of Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
