* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * North Charleston, South Carolina — On May 7, 2023, Deputy Evan Cubbage from the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle shortly before 3:45 p.m. at 4915 Savannah Highway near Ravenel. The 36-year-old, deputy Cubbage, with more then three years on the force called for backup after a “brief interaction” with the driver and the passenger, identified as 28-year-old James Pierce. The sheriff’s office described the stop as “cordial, up until this point,” when Pierce became “squirrelly”. A second deputy, identified as Alexander Hodge, arrived a short time later to provide backup. Deputy Cubbage stood by the passenger side door, which Pierce had opened because the windows were tinted and the deputy couldn’t see inside. Deputy Cubbage appears to grab the Pierce’s hands and tells him not to reach for anything as he is getting out to of the car. “He’s got a gun,” the deputy called. During the encounter, Pierce opened fire on the deputies, and deputy Cubbage was struck. The deputies returned fire, hitting Pierce, who died at the scene. Pierce was armed with a Glock .40-caliber handgun; the deputies fired their 9 mm service pistol. Deputy Cubbage was shot three times. He was released from the hospital after getting treatment for serious but non-life threatening injuries later that night. Deputy Hodge was not injured. After the shooting, deputies detained the woman driver, who has not been identified. It is unclear if she faces any charges. Per protocol, the deputies involved in the shooting are on paid administrative leave. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - Meighan Garrick - Anida Hanjab - Michele Duckson - ’BoJassim’ - ’Sopaul’ - ’Tavia S’ - Michael Mortimer - ’Mystery Mayhem’ - Lisa Overly - Connor Davies - Paul Rohrbaugh - Nash Martin - ’Necko’ - Gerardo Flores - Richard Vannieuwenhuyse - ’DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse’ - ’Roman1983’ - Anthony Eufemio - ’Donkbot’ - Gage Kissinger - Alex F - Eian Smith - ’HelloDarknessMyOldFriend’ - ’coco Coco’ - ’The Chocolate Thief’ - ’gorey hole’ - Joe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us at BuyMeACoffee: Support us on Patreon: Follow us on Twitter: 🛍️ Check out our Amazon store: 🛍️ Disclosure: Please note that we will receive a small commission from purchases made through our Amazon store.
