A 17-year-old allegedly shot four other teenagers — ages 14 to 17 — killing three of them, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said at a news conference Monday.

Sunday afternoon’s shooting apparently stemmed from a previous dispute. Lott called it a fight “over something stupid” from a couple years ago.

The 17-year-old suspect has been arrested on charges including three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, the sheriff said.

“Three kids are dead,” Lott said. “If that doesn’t shock you, then something’s wrong. So we gotta do something. … Now is time for action.”

“Here we are once again,” Richland County Councilwoman Gretchen Barron said.

“Young people got guns and they make poor choices. Now it’s left up to us as a community,” she said

Richland County coroner Naida Rutherford said the victims were Caleb Wise and Dre’von Riley, both 16 years old, and Jakobe Fanning, 17.

In a news conference held Monday, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said the victim who survived was 14 years old.

Lott said the shooting happened over a burglary that took place a couple of years ago.

Talk about holding a grudge. Sounds an injustice collector. An all too common characteristics in mass murderers and terrorists.

Keeping an eye on this tragic case. I can't find updates since September 2023. Wonder if there will be a trial.
