"SUMTER, S.C. "? A 12-year-old boy trick-or-treating with his family in central South Carolina was shot from inside a home Friday and killed, and his father and brother were wounded by the gunfire, authorities said.

The father and his four children approached a home with a porch light on about 8:30 p.m. EDT while their mother waited nearby in a vehicle.

As the family was at the door, they thought they heard fireworks. The 12-year-old boy, his father and brother were all hit by the gunfire. The boy died at a hospital, Coroner Verna Moore said. The other two children were not hurt.

The boy's father and brother were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities have not released the identity of the family."

I've noticed a great decline in the amount of kids trick or treating these days. Most seem to be going to church events and whatnot.

Terrible though, I hate to hear things like that.

I had about 23 trick or treaters and only 2 shells left. JK.

Thats sad and a prime example of the pathetic people in today's society. We took the little one to Dungannon trick or treating with the inlaws. Shes helping get daddy fat for winter! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
