Greenville, S.C. (BFMG) – A 7-year-old boy is recovering after being shot at a home on Crosby Circle late Friday night. Deputies from the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) responded to a 911 call around 11:35 p.m. reporting that the child had sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Upon arrival, deputies located the child and immediately transported him to a local hospital for treatment. His condition has not yet been released.
Following an investigation, deputies arrested the suspect, a 13-year-old boy, who was attending what was believed to be a sleepover at the victim’s house. Authorities say the suspect fled the scene after the shooting and was later found at his home just a few houses away from where the incident occurred.
An active investigation is underway to determine the circumstances and motive behind the shooting. The names of the victim and suspect have not been released due to their ages.
Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.
