Until they aren't and start shooting at people.
FLORENCE COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) An 8-year-old is in critical condition after being shot Saturday in Florence County by a man who was shooting at cars driving by his home, according to Florence County Sheriff TJ Joye.
Charles Montgomery Allen, 40, of Florence, was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder, three counts of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
No motive. Just probably methed up. Hes got a history, Joye said. Hes incarcerated now without incident. Just a senseless, senseless act.
The shooting happened in the area of Old River Road, which authorites blocked off. A woman whose age is unknown was also injured in the shooting. She was in a car with the 8-year-old, Joye said.
