Someone called 911 Friday night, and when police arrived, a large crowd had gathered in front of the Iola Street residence, according to a police incident report.

Greenville Police are asking anyone with information about a shooting that occurred at 11:09 p.m. Friday to call Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME.

This was reported on Fox Carolina News that the officers had a hard time investigating this at first because no one at the scene spoke English so they had to wait for a Spanish Speking officer to arrive. They did not say if they were illegals or not, but a little investigatiing would tell us.
