Po­lice said of­fi­cers re­spond­ed to re­ports of gun­shots in Sec­ond Cale­do­nia around 10.30 p.m. and found Steve Grif­fith’s body in a track.

A Dis­trict Med­ical Of­fi­cer was called and pro­nounced Grif­fith dead at the scene.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors found three live rounds of 5.56 am­mu­ni­tion, four spent 5.56 shell cas­ings and four spent 9mm shell cas­ings.
