2 men shoot each other BY SHARRON HALEY sharron@theitem-clarendonsun.com MANNING — Two men are in a Charleston hospital with gunshot wounds to their lower bodies following a disagreement outside of a Summerton housing project Wednesday night. Reports said JaQuan E. Quazack, 26, of 17 S. Duke St. in GARRETT Summerton, and Wesley Junior Nelson Jr., 29, of 3805 Artesian Drive in Sumter but reportedly living in the Summerton area, shot each other while they were standing outside the apartment buildings about 9 p.m., according to Clarendon County Sheriff Randy Garrett. “All we’ve been able to put together is that these two individuals shot each other,� Garrett said. “Our preliminary investigation leads us to believe the motive behind the shooting was robbery and that one of the victims was most probably, we aren’t sure at this time, defending themselves.� Garrett said both men were transported to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Quazack was shot once in the pelvic area with a .40-caliber handgun and underwent surgery Thursday morning. The sheriff said Nelson was shot once in the leg with a 9 mm handgun. “Last night, neither of the gentlemen was cooperating,� Garrett said. “They weren’t talking.� Garrett said he thinks that others who were outside at the time of the shooting could have been involved, but no witnesses have come forth. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office at (803) 435-4414 and ask for Investigator Kipp Coker or they can call CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-888-CRIMESC.

BY COREY DAVIS cdavis@theitem.com T. La’trell Penny, senior pastor of Shubach Deliverance World Ministries Inc., said God was calling her to do something in the wake of the various mass shootings that stained 2012. That call was heard, especially after the shooting at a Connecticut elementary school in mid-December when a 20-year-old man killed 26 people, including 20 small children, in the second deadliest school shooting in the United States. With the help of leaders at Shubach and other local pastors, Penny is asking the community to participate in Saturday’s citywide prayer day service taking place at 9 a.m. “I felt the need to bridge the gaps, so to speak, over our community, after hearing

‘Now, more than ever, we need to come together to get the attention of God, and I believe we do it better together.’ T. La’trell Penny, pastor the constant reports of murder in the streets, tragic shootings in schools such as the Sandy Hook (elementary school) shooting,� Penny said. “Now, more than ever, we need to come together to get the attention of God, and I believe we do it better together.� The prayer day service will take place at the Beacon movie theater in auditorium No. 2, said Penny. She thought the setting would be more conducive to what the program is all about. “We didn’t want to hold it at a church

building because we didn’t want people to feel uncomfortable for those that don’t go to church,� Penny said. “We want people to come wearing jeans, T-shirts or whatever they feel comfortable wearing. The church world has made themselves exclusive and inclusive, but God said all of us are his people. As a country, we have turned our backs on God, and we are at a time where we need to reach out to our sovereign savior.� Pastor Sammie Simmons of St. Mark Four Bridges Baptist

lives to (Jesus) Christ.� The Rev. Diane Hodgson, president of the Sumter Ministerial Association, will also be involved in the program. She said with so much negativity in the nation, the only hope for change is by coming together and crying out to the Lord for help and guidance. “We live in a nation where people live in fear because there is so much violence going on everywhere, and people have lost hope because they’ve lost their jobs or can’t find employment,� Hodgson said. “In other cases, people live on fixed incomes and struggle to make ends meet. This is a time where we need to pray for people, whether they’re Christians or not, and come together as one accord.� Reach Corey Davis at (803) 774-1295.

Church will be among the preachers helping to lead prayer at the event. Simmons said this is a time where people need to look past race, gender, church denomination or political agenda and understand many people are suffering, and the younger generation is dying. This week alone, a 15-year-old girl, who performed at President Obama’s inauguration, was killed Tuesday on the south side of Chicago. Authorities said no arrests have been made in the incident. “Our children have become targets, and we need to pray for the safety and protection of our children,� Simmons said. “We also need to pray and help our youth get in their hearts that there is a better way than gangbanging or selling crack. We need to pray that they will have an awakening in their lives and give their
