York County Regional SWAT Team OIS Incident Debrief (2018)


On January 16, 2018, York County deputies responded to a domestic violence call that led to a K9 search for a suspect armed with an AK-47. The suspect ambushed the K9 tracking team and shot Sgt. Randy Clinton.


This ambush led to the deployment of the York County SWAT team and personnel from every agency in York County, the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division and the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department. In all, over 100 officers responded.


The suspect then ambushed a SWAT unit searching for him, murdering Detective Mike Doty and seriously wounding Officer Kyle Cummings and Sgt. Buddy Brown. The suspect suffered serious wounds and was taken into custody.


In this debrief, Sgt. Buddy Brown will discuss the good, the bad, and the lessons learned from that incident as well as the incident's aftermath.
