For the second time in less than a week, South Carolina law enforcement officials are investigating a shooting involving Easley Police.

According to Easley Police Department Lt. Ashley Anderson, at least one officer fired a weapon Saturday at Daniel Scott McGoldrick, 35, during a domestic violence call. The caller reported a man had shoved a woman to the ground causing her to hit her head.

Officers arrived at the home in the 100 block of Scott Avenue at about 1:30 p.m., according to Anderson, and saw a woman and child standing outside of the home while McGoldrick re-entered the residence.

According to Anderson, officers asked McGoldrick to come outside, but he refused and opened the door, pointing a firearm. At least one EPD officer fired at McGoldrick.

The shooting is the second involving the Easley PD . On July 9, officers shot and killed Nicholas Elias Fernandez, 26, of Greer. According to Anderson, Fernandez made threats to a Tractor Supply store manager and charged at officers with an ax.
