ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) -- Anderson County authorities have released the names of two men shot to death earlier this week.

Two men were killed and a third person was wounded in the shootings Monday night.

Chief Deputy Coroner Charlie Boseman says 40-year-old Christopher Hunter died at AnMed Health Medical Center about an hour after he was shot in the chest.

Sheriff's deputies who found Hunter followed a trail of blood to an duplex where they found the body of 32-year-old James Bethel Sanford. Boseman says Sanford died of a gunshot wound to the chest shortly after 9 p.m. Monday.

Sheriff's officials have not released the name of a third man who was shot in the arm and wounded.

Sheriff's spokesman Chad McBride says no arrests have been made.
