When  Cathelyn Quick of McColl saw what happened to George Floyd more than a week ago, she wanted to jump through the TV.
Seeing the various protests across the country about Floyd’s death brought back memories for Quick.
In 1968, she marched in the Orangeburg Massacre, a civil rights protest at South Carolina State College (now University) that turned deadly.
“We wanted to go bowling and they wouldn’t allow us to go bowling so we started marching,” Quick said.
The Orangeburg massacre refers to the shooting of protesters by police in the campus of S.C. State on Feb. 8, 1968. Students were protesting against segregation at a local bowling alley. Three of the protesters, African-American males, were killed and twenty-seven other protesters were injured.

Tuesday morning the Marlboro County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to Cricket Road in Bennettsville after reports were made that a male subject pointed a gun at a person elsewhere in the community before returning to his home. Information was also received that the male subject, Tony Oxendine, 62, had assaulted a victim and forced him by gunpoint into the victim's vehicle where Oxendine then drove the victim to another location and began threatening the victim before presenting a firearm. 
When Oxendine returned to Cricket Road he was met by a deputy with the Sheriff's Office. When the deputy contacted him, Oxendine threw a chair at the deputy in an attempt to evade him, then lifted his shirt to show the deputy that he was armed. The deputy attempted to use non-lethal measures to take the subject into custody but those measures failed.
