Man, 44, shot in neck in Rock Hill. Others were at home, but police have no suspects

A man has life-threatening injuries after being shot in the neck at a home early Tuesday in Rock Hill, police said.

The man is 44 years old, said Capt. Mark Bollinger of the Rock Hill Polcie Department. Detectives have declined to release his name or the street address in the 200 block of Scoggins Street where the incident happened around 3 a.m. Tuesday.

Despite several people being in the house at the time of the shooting, police do not have any suspect information, Bollinger said.

The motive for the shooting remains unclear, but Bollinger said police do not believe the attack was a “random act of violence.”

Several neighbors who did not want to be identified because the investigation is ongoing and a shooter has not been identified told The Herald they heard there was a shooting on their street during the early morning hours but had no details from police about what happened.

Officers found a man lying on a bedroom floor with gunshot wounds to his neck after first finding a woman crying in a front room, police said.

The man was taken by ambulance to Piedmont Medical Center for treatment.
