Zachary Hammond

Male, White

Date of the incident: 7/26/2015

Seneca, Oconee, SC
1003 By Pass 123

Hammond was shot while driving away from the scene of a drug deal sting operation. Authorities said Hammond drove his car at a patrol vehicle and an officer, but dashcam video showed he was shot twice from the side through his driver's window as he passed an officer who was ordering him to stop. A local solicitor said the 'deadly force was justified' and declined to bring criminal charges against Lieutenant Mark Tiller.
