CAMDEN, SC – Hundreds gathered in Camden, South Carolina for the revolutionary war field days, with many reenacting the many battles the United States saw from 1775 to 1783.
The reenactment reportedly went wrong after a local South Carolina man, Jeff Dile, 49, accidentally brought a real rifle to the reenactment, killing seven and wounding 23.
“At first, I thought it was people just acting, but after a bunch of people layed on the ground for too long, I realized something was wrong. That was unfortunately after I already shot a bunch of folks,” said Dile.
