Lee County Sheriff Daniel Simon said the woman and her four children left the residence after the shooting and discovered that the mobile home was on fire. She then called 9-1-1 to report that she and her child had been shot.

The infant was airlifted to a Columbia hospital in critical condition while the mother was taken to a hospital in Florence with non-life-threatening injuries.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division’s (SLED) crime scene and arson units were asked to assist Lee County in the investigation.
