Panic erupted in a typically peaceful Japanese restaurant on the outskirts of York County when an altercation quickly escalated from verbal confrontation to physical attack and ended with gunshots fired into the air. Authorities are now on a manhunt for the three women allegedly involved in the horrifying incident.
The incident unfolded at the Kochi Japanese Steakhouse situated on Highway 557 in Clover; a town located in the North-Eastern part of York County. According to the York County Sheriff’s Office, two staff members were assaulted by three unidentified women on Thursday night. It is reported that the altercation began within the confines of the restaurant and rapidly escalated to levels of physical violence.
The authorities detail that during the course of the conflict, one woman exited the venue, approached a vehicle believed to be driven by them, retrieved a firearm, and recklessly discharged two rounds into the air. It is alleged that after firing the shots, she menacingly pointed the firearm at the victims, causing immense fear and sensitivity among other customers and staff members who helplessly witnessed the incident.
The suspects quickly fled the scene, evading immediate capture by the restaurant’s on-site security personnel. Their mode of transport, as seen in the footage, is believed to be a white Chevrolet Equinox. As for their appearance, the woman who fired the shots was clad in a pink-colored hoodie and black pants, another was in a teal and gray hoodie paired with ripped blue jeans and white glasses, with the third suspect wearing a green-colored shirt and blue jeans. The authorities have released surveillance footage of the suspects and are requesting public assistance to identify these individuals.
The York County Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone who can identify these women or has any information on them to come forward and report to the Sheriff’s Office at 803-628-3059. Alternatively, tip-offs can be submitted confidentially through the York County Crime Stoppers website.
