| 2008-11-01 |
| Police in South Carolina say a 12-year-old out trick-or-treating for the US Halloween holiday was killed when a convicted felon fearing a robbery fired nearly 30 rounds with an assault rifle from inside a house. Sumter Police Chief Patty Patterson says TJ Darrisaw died Friday night after being shot multiple times. His father and nine-year-old brother were also shot, but were treated and released. Quentin Patrick has been charged with murder and assault and battery with intent to kill. Police say the 22-year-old ex-convict told them he had been robbed and shot before. Police say TJ's family attended a Halloween celebration and then stopped at Patrick's house to ask for candy because the porch light was on. Two other siblings were with them but weren't hurt. |
