A 14-year-old South Carolina boy shot and killed his father then drove
to an elementary school playground where he shot and wounded two
children and a teacher with a handgun before being tackled by a
firefighter who held him till the police arrived, authorities said on
Wednesday.
The suspect, whose name has not been released, was
accused by police of fatally shooting his 47-year-old father, Jeffrey
DeWitt Osborne, then driving a pickup truck about 2 miles (3.2 km) to
Townville Elementary School where he crashed into a fence surrounding
the playground.
