Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office
A 13-year-old male is suspected of shooting a man in the chest on Goff Avenue in Orangeburg on Monday morning, according to the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s office spokesman Richard Walker said just before 3 p.m. Tuesday that investigators have the male in custody and the weapon he allegedly used.
Authorities aren’t releasing the male’s name because of his age.
In the meantime, the injured 40-year-old Orangeburg man is undergoing treatment at the Regional Medical Center for a gunshot wound not only to his chest, but to his left arm, which he’d raised to cover his chest while the male allegedly pointed the gun at him.
