“Right now we have three dead and three wounded,” said Myers, who explained that the shooter had been killed by “an armed individual.”
Greenwood police on their Facebook page asked witnesses to the shooting to contact them for information.
It is the latest incident in a wave of armed violence affecting the United States, where some 40,000 deaths a year are caused by firearms, according to the Archive of Armed Violence.
The attack came a couple of weeks after a gunman opened fire at a Fourth of July parade in an affluent Chicago suburb that left seven dead and at least three dozen wounded.
It also took place after two massacres in May: 10 African-Americans were shot to death in a supermarket in Buffalo, in the state of New York; and 19 children and two teachers were killed at an elementary school in Texas.
The recent rise in gun violence has reignited the harsh debate over gun regulation in the country. A House committee will vote this week for the first time in nearly 20 years on a bill to ban assault rifles.
