Charleston police say one person has been shot and hostages remain trapped inside Virginia's on King restaurant with an "active shooter." King Street is currently closed between Calhoun and Morris Streets. Hostage negotiators are the scene along with medics and SWAT. "This was not an act of terrorism," said Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg. "This was not a hate crime. This was a disgruntled employee."

Police in Charleston, South Carolina, are working an "active shooter situation," according to Charles Francis, a spokesman for the Charleston Police Department. Police are asking people to avoid the area. An owner of a nearby boutique said the police activity is focused around Virginia's on King, a restaurant in the heart of downtown. "Right now the streets are full of SWAT and police and people heavily armed. They are blocking off the whole block," said Sarah Cobb, owner of MOSA boutique. Cobb described evacuations of nearby businesses and officers with guns pointed toward the restaurant. Developing story - more to come

Did they yell Ali Akbar? If not then it's likely a racist white dude.

They've shut off all of King St from Morris to George. That's about 6 blocks.

CofC has locked down campus as well.
