ACSO investigates domestic shooting
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office is investigating why an Aiken man shot his girlfriend in the hip overnight when she walked into the couple's bedroom at 1489 University Parkway.
The victim is identified as Shernell A. Martin, 24, of University Parkway.
The subject is identified as Algeron D. Isaac, 25, of the same address.
About 2:30 a.m., the man shot the victim with a .45 caliber handgun in the right hip when she walked into the bedroom, said Lt. Michael Frank, a spokesperson for the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
"Right now, we're trying to figure out whether this was an intentional or accidental shooting," said Sheriff Michael Hunt. "Mr. Isaac was intoxicated, so we're getting conflicting information."
According to the deputy's incident report, the man said the 24-year-old woman was armed with a knife and had attempted to stab him.
Aiken County Emergency Medical Services transported the victim to the Medical College of Georgia. She was treated and released.
No arrests have been made, Frank said.
Contest focus is violence prevention
A statewide logo contest will give students an opportunity to think about preventing gun violence in their schools.
The logo contest, "Preventing Gun Violence at Your School," is open to any student enrolled in elementary, middle or high school in South Carolina. The contest is an initiative of Project Sentry, a Department of Justice program designed to protect children from gun violence.
The U.S. attorney's office is sponsoring the project for the fifth year in a row. Entries will be divided into four grade categories. A winner will be selected from each of the four grade categories and an overall winner will be chosen from among the four grade category winners. The overall winner will receive a $200 U.S. Savings Bond and the three additional winners will each receive a $100 U.S. Savings Bond.
The deadline for submission is Monday, April 7. Contest information has been sent to schools throughout the state.
For more information, call James Leventis at (803) 929-3000.
Luncheon will be held on Tuesday
The Aiken Christian Women's Connection luncheon for March will be held on Tuesday at Woodside Country Club from 11:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. Brenda Boyer of the newly opened Changes Day Spa will explain all the affordable and relaxing changes we can make to our lives.
Her discovery of the Italian inventor Giancarlo Levi brings incredible machines to Aiken to help us lose inches and shed cellulite with speed through electronic stimulation. Ruth Ann Ridgeway will entertain with music, and Gaye Martin of Summerfield, Fla., will be the inspirational speaker with her story of "Mama TOLD me there would be days like this!"
The lunch is by reservation only, and no denim is allowed. A free preschool nursery is available by reservation. Call Pat at 644-1323 or e-mail parkinson1@bellsouth.net. Reservations can also be made for the Guest Night dinner at Woodside to be held April 25 with Cot Campbell as the special speaker.
