An incident report said police responded to the North Cedar Street restaurant just before 3 p.m. and found Cynthia Smith, 57, of Goose Creek, laying on a bench after being shot in the buttocks.

Smith, a retired S.C. Probation and Parole officer, had a gun stored in her purse without a holster, and when she moved the purse, the gun went off, injuring herself and Jacqueline Duchene, 48, of Goose Creek. Duchene was shot in the leg.
