A task force formed within the Greenville County Sheriff's Office has made a major impact in just a few months.
An upswing in shootings across the County in the early months of the year, prompted the formation of the task force.
Since forming the Violent Crimes Task Force in May shootings are down over 50%.The Sheriff's Office says in the months prior to the Task Force being assembled there were 30 shootings in Greenville County.
One of those shootings left a 5 year old child dead which led to the decision to form the Task Force.
