Teen shoots alleged trespasser while family is at funeral

ABBEVILLE CO., SC (WSPA) – A teen shot an alleged trespasser while house sitting for a family that was out of town for a funeral, Abbeville County Sheriff Ray Watson said.

The teen told deputies he confronted the suspect who was going toward a shed full of equipment and property around 3:40 p.m. Friday.

The teen says the suspect reached behind his back and the teen fired because he was afraid the suspect was armed.

He thinks he may have struck the suspect since he appeared to limp as he left the scene.
