Children trick-or-treating
A 12 year old boy was shot dead in Sumter, South Carolina while trick-or-treating with other members of his family on Friday. The boy’s father and brother were slightly wounded.
Police representatives said that the father and four children decided to go trick or treating to a few homes, while the mother was waiting in the car.
Seconds after they rand the doorbell of the first house, they heard gunshots and saw the boy collapse.
They immediately transported him to the hospital, but unfortunately there was nothing that could be done to save the boy’s life. His father and brother suffered light injuries.
The police have already arrested the shooter, called Quentin Patrick, aged 22. He has already been charged with murder, assault and battery, and he has already contacted an attorney.
Neighbours were all shocked by what happened, but they were not able to give any details as they did not react immediately to the gunshots, thinking it was just Halloween fireworks.
