Officials say two people were killed and several people were injured in an early-morning fire at a Summerville apartment complex. Town of Summerville spokesperson Mary Edwards originally said one person died in the fire, but investigators discovered a second person later Thursday morning. Edwards said firefighters received a call to the Summerville Station apartment complex on Old Trolley Road just before 3 a.m. Thursday with reports of multiple people trapped in the fire. Firefighters arrived to find one building fully involved and fire spreading to the next building. Several people were standing outside of the building with burn injuries, Edwards said. Four residents and three officers from the Summerville Police Department were transported to the hospital with injuries, Edwards said. The officers have been released.
