According to reports, the incident took place at a car dealership. The North Charleston Fire Department was the first to arrive on the scene and told police the suspect, later identified as Quinn, was attempting to leave the scene in another vehicle.
FOX 4 reports that a pickup truck registered to Quinn crashed into a car, causing that vehicle to hit two other vehicles. Police said video evidence showed Quinn’s pickup swerving on the road before eventually driving onto the dealership’s property.
