Elliott offers condolences to late officer’s family

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina coach Shawn Elliott offered the football team’s condolences for Columbia Police Officer Stacy Case.

Case was killed Saturday night in a crash with a University of South Carolina officer as both were responding to a report of shots fired in Columbia. The other officer, Sgt. Allan Bolin, suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Elliott said Tuesday he wanted Case’s family to know that the South Carolina football team was thinking about her. He also offered best wishes for Bolin’s recovery.
