When bullets start flying from multiple guns - in this case, at a minimum, from both a suspected shooter and a cop, then as people are scrambling, you will inevitably have people "caught in the crossfire".
That is why the articles mention a "SLED" (South Carolina Law Enforcement Division) investigation. There is usually "extra" done when there is an "officer-involved shooting", and moreso since a suspect is now deceased.
The forensics investigators and lab will be able to determine what bullets hit who and came from what gun or guns.
