Sheriff PJ Tanner addresses media, community on St. Helena Island bar shooting
October 15, 2025
Beaufort County Sheriff PJ Tanner addressed the media and community on October 15, 2025, following the tragic shooting early Sunday morning at Willie's Bar & Grill on St. Helena Island. The incident left 20 injured by gunfire; 4 dead, 4 critically wounded.
Sheriff Tanner encourages anyone with information regarding the incident to report it to Crime Stoppers of Beaufort County.
How it Works:
Crime Stoppers of Beaufort County relies on cooperation from the community, the media and law enforcement to provide a flow of information as it relates to suspicious and criminal activity in Beaufort County. Those who submit tips are called, “tipsters” and remain anonymous. Each tipster is given a unique computer-generated tip ID and password for tips submitted. These numbers are the only way to confirm tip submission and, if applicable, to receive a reward.
Submit Tips in 1 of 3 Ways:
- P3 Tips Mobile App: Submit anonymous tips via the free and secure P3 Tips app. Available for Android and iOS platforms. Search your app store for “P3 Tips”
- Web Tip: Submit anonymous tip online by visiting www.tipsbft.com
- Phone Tip: Tipsters still have the option to call the tip line by dialing 1-844-TIPSBFT (844- 847-7238). This is a toll-free hotline number that connects the caller to a 24/7 call center.
