TV documentary will spotlight Lavonia police shootings

The Discovery Channel says it will air a documentary on a December 2016 shooting in Franklin County: two Lavonia Police officers were shot and wounded after a traffic stop. The officers have since recovered; the suspect—wanted out of South Carolina—was arrested shortly after the shooting. The TV special on the shooting will air next Tuesday night at 10.

The two officers, Captain Michael Shulman and Officer Jeffrey Martin, were shot while conducting a traffic stop in a fast-food restaurant parking lot off I-85 in Lavonia. Shulman spent several days in the hospital as a result of the shooting. Both Shulman and Martin reovered from their injuries, and have since left the department.
