"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 shooting suspect, Quentin Patrick, was in custody, a jail official said. Patrick, 22, has been charged with murder and three counts of assault and battery with intent to kill. The jail official said she didn't know whether Patrick had an attorney and his telephone number was unpublished. The family was headed home from a city-sponsored event downtown when they decided to stop at a few homes, Sumter Police Chief Patty Patterson 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. Patterson also would not release any more details about the shooting."

that's fucked up.

in b4 gun control flamewar

11/1/2008 6:41:48 AM

I don't think this is an issue of gun control, but more of an issue of dumbassedness.

11/1/2008 6:52:46 AM

and probably drinking.

11/1/2008 6:55:05 AM

could be, the killer was 22.

there will always be dumbasses, there's nothing society can do about it. Guns, society can control.

just like they controlled alcohol during Prohibition? Yeah that worked out well.

11/1/2008 7:04:09 AM

better gun control won't protect people from others that are being stupid. perhaps the law ought to just be more strict on those that use guns while intoxicated.

11/1/2008 7:08:14 AM

you can make laws that ban everything remotely dangerous, but you can't fix stupid. That's why there's warning labels on even the most mundane of items.

11/1/2008 7:13:23 AM

like the "warning: sharp objects" label on the knives i just bought. oy

11/1/2008 7:14:56 AM

exactly. what if Mr. El-Tardo decided to run out of his house and stab those people instead of shooting them, would people be calling for knife control measures? I highly doubt it.

11/1/2008 7:18:16 AM

hehe... actually, i bet someone would. the kitchen section in every Target and Wal-mart would need a locked glass case for knives.

11/1/2008 7:19:17 AM

lol, yeah, I"m somewhat surprised it's not that way already.

11/1/2008 7:25:06 AM

I highly doubt that kid would be dead if that man had a knife instead of a gun.

what's fucked up is they said there were at least 20 bullet holes in the door, and the 22 year old wasn't there by himself, but the police aren't going to charge anyone else in the house.

"Police: Shooter feared trick-or-treater was robber SUMTER, S.C. – An ex-convict who thought he was being robbed gunned down a 12-year-old trick-or-treater, spraying nearly 30 rounds with an assault rifle from inside his home after hearing a knock on the door, police said Saturday. Quentin Patrick, 22, is accused of killing 12-year-old T.J. Darrisaw on Friday night. T.J.'s 9-year-old brother, Ahmadre Darrisaw, and their father, Freddie Grinnell, were injured but were released after being treated at a hospital. The family attended a Halloween celebration in downtown Sumter, 45 miles east of Columbia, then stopped at Patrick's house because the porch light was on, police said. Another sibling was with them, but wasn't hurt. Police said at least two of the boys were wearing ghoulish masks when they knocked on the door. The boys' mother and a toddler stayed in the car nearby. Patrick emptied his AK-47, shooting at least 29 times through his front door, walls and windows after hearing the knock, Police Chief Patty Patterson said. He told police he had been robbed and shot in the past year. "He wasn't going to be robbed again, and he wasn't going to be shot again," Patterson said Saturday at a news conference. She said T.J., a bright young man, suffered multiple wounds, including a fatal shot to his head. No one answered the door at the family's home Saturday. "This is by far one of the worst tragedies that I have had to personally experience," Patterson said. "It happened basically because kids were out doing what they would normally do on Halloween." Patrick has been charged with murder, three counts of assault and battery with intent to kill, and one count of assault with intent to kill. Police said they also charged a 19-year-old in his home, Ericka Patrice Pee, with obstruction of justice when she was caught trying to run away after the shooting with $7,500 in cash. Patterson did not give an explanation for the money. Pee's 2-year-old daughter was inside during the shooting and is now being cared for by family members. Patterson said Patrick had multiple drug convictions but police do not believe he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the shooting. Authorities did not know if Patrick or Pee had attorneys. Both are being held without bond. A man who identified himself as Patrick's brother but declined to give his name said in a call to The Associated Press that he believed Patrick was suffering from post-traumatic stress after a break-in last December. The man's account matched the information police provided. "We want to let his family know that this is a total tragic accident," he said. "He was trying to protect his family." Patrick's home is off a busy, two-lane road in Sumter, a city of about 40,000 people. On Saturday, shattered glass still covered the front stoop and about 20 bullet holes peppered the front door and a front-window casement. A firefighter used a hose to wash bloodstains away. The shooting shocked residents of a neighborhood where most people know each other well. "I just hate it that that little kid got killed. It used to be the quietest place. I knew everybody and everybody knew me," said Vivian Johnson, 81, who lives two doors from Patrick and Pee but said she did not know them. County Councilman Charles Edens said he lives just a few blocks away and passed the crime scene on his way back from trick-or-treating with his 13-year-old daughter, who was upset by the news. "It's going to put a dampening on Halloween," Eden said. "I would think twice about going to a door that we don't know who lives behind." "

So it's Halloween and the guy's porchlight is on. These people come up and knock, and this douchebag shoots 29 rounds from the AK47 through the front door....without even knowing who was there. Wow.

Oh, and since this is Chit Chat -- there was a 19-year old in this guy's house, and her last name is "Pee".

fucking drug dealing shit stain

11/2/2008 12:27:14 AM

So do people who are not drug dealers usually keep $7,500 in cash and an AK-47 laying around. I mean if this guy was legit I cant see why he would have that much in cash at his house after ALREADY BEING ROBBED ONCE.

11/2/2008 12:29:23 AM

i was not aware that it was illegal to have money at your house. I am sure am glad that having money means you are a drug dealer

a 22 year old ex-con that has 7.5k in the house pretty much makes him a drug dealer by default

11/2/2008 12:33:01 AM

come on dude

having guns doesnt make you a drug dealer

having money doesnt make you a drug dealer

im aware that I'm making a generalization, but baseed on the evidence all signs point to drug dealer



also, take away ALL of that shit


and a convicted felon with an ak47?

BURN THAT MOTHERFUCKER

11/2/2008 12:33:01 AM

Probably counting his cash after selling some drugs or robbing a 7-11


LIFE!

11/2/2008 12:34:07 AM

oh, I agree. I'm just saying that bullshit generalizations like "who needs to carry around 7500 dollar bucks" are the reasons police can take shit away from people for no reason at all
