Woman shot at psychic's office
By Andy Paras
Authorities say someone shot a 46-year-old woman in the cheek inside the European Psychic in West Ashley Saturday night and then stole her car.
Charleston County Sheriff's Lt. Kevin Whited said the shooting occurred at 8:40 p.m. at 1942 Sam Rittenberg Blvd.
They found Kathy Parrish inside, bleeding from the cheek, he said. She was taken to a local hospital where officers were still waiting to talk to her as of Sunday afternoon, Whited said.
There were no other witnesses to the shooting, though police say a relative called authorities.
Authorities are looking for the victim's car, a 4-door, 2000 Audi with SC tags that say 518WSU.
Anyone with information about the shooting or the car are asked to call CrimeStoppers at 554-1111.

Ok, maybe this is wrong to say, but couldn't the Psychic see this coming?

The psychic should look into her crystal ball or read her cards or whatever psychics do and give the cops the name of the perp!

My thoughts exactly charlestonian. I think Ms Parish should ask the psychic for a refund.

this story s fishy
stolen car and a shooting yet she was inside the building
a car thief isnt gonna take the time to go inside and shoot someone then go back out and steal the car. the whole point is to get away unnoticed and without being easily recognized
no witnesses make it harder to id them later
seems to that she was helping her attacker maybe to collect insurance off the car or to dump the car note

Yeah but it doesn't say whether it was the psychic that was shot or just someone else that was in there.

This story has the potential for some funny comments...can't wait to read them!
On the other hand I hope this woman makes a speedy recovery and gets her money back from the psychic for not seeing that in her crystal ball.

She shoulda went to see the GREAT SWAMEE instead; they're more reliable.

You see, this is why I don't visit places like that (or Generation XXX, etc.) because with my luck, a crime would happen, and it would be plastered all over the news that I was there---I'd never live it down, LOL.
As Joe Dirt would say: "Is this where you want to be when Jesus comes back?"

Oh come on... I'd rather be seen at Generation XXX than a psychic. At least at the porn shop, I'd be getting something for my money hehe

I'd be a little upset with the psychic at that point.
jca- It's also likely that she was shot outside the building, the psychic saw the woman bleeding and brought her inside until help arrived.

nikkiP-It's not very likely she was shot outside the building, because the first line of the story states she was shot inside the building.

Marianne, maybe it is Yolanda and she just did a poor job of name-changing. She was there trying to find out what's gonna become of her now that her future with Al is not working out and she and the kids are on the down skids.

I bet the psychic was using a crystal ball made in China. That will teach her to buy American.
