Deputies: Boy Shoots Sister Over Bag of Potato Chips
(Dillon County) - Dillon County deputies say an argument between a brother and a sister over a bag of potato chips led to a shooting.
WBTW-TV reports that the incident happened Tuesday night. According to deputies, a 10-year-old boy shot his nine-year-old sister in the face with a shotgun.
Investigators say the two were arguing over the chips. Authorities say at some point, the boy left the room, got a shotgun out of his father's room, and shot the girl in the face.
The gunfire hit the girl on the right cheek.
The children reportedly ran to get help from their grandmother. The girl was taken to the hospital and is expected to be okay; however, she will need plastic surgery.

Someone screwed up here and it was not just the 10 year old boy. Someone did not properly teach the boy about guns and since the boy was not safe with guns the guns and ammo needed to be safely unavailable to the children. It might have been safe to leave a shotgun and ammo around my house when I was growing up because we all knew how to behave. As an adult I had to lock my guns up for many years because I had a child that I could not trust not even with a sharp knife. While they are children the adults bare most of the responsibility. 0
