WALTERBORO, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say a gunman opened fire on a South Carolina home filled with children, shooting and wounding a 1-year-old.
A release from the Colleton County Sheriff’s Office says a juvenile was arrested Tuesday and charged with eight counts of attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Authorities didn’t immediately release the suspect’s name.
The release says the suspect fired into the home early Tuesday morning, hitting the 1-year-old in the leg. Fire-Rescue Chief Barry McRoy says the child is in stable condition.
Authorities didn’t immediately release information on a motive for the shooting.
It’s unclear whether the juvenile has an attorney.
