Cops: 5-year-old girl shot to death in Hartsville

HARTSVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Authorities say a 5-year-old girl has died from an accidental shooting at a home in Hartsville.

Darlington County sheriff’s Captain Andy Locklair says Sha’Diamond Graham was playing with a gun on Sunday night when it went off, and she was shot.

The girl was pronounced dead at a hospital. Authorities are still investigating, but Locklair said officers think the shooting was an accident.
