What we know so far -

According to the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, the shooting has left one child dead and two others injured. The deceased child and another in critical condition are brothers, both under the age of 10. The two young boys were inside an apartment when the gunfire erupted.

The third victim, an 18-year-old, sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities say the teen is expected to make a full recovery. It remains unclear where he was located during the shooting.

“Such a senseless act that occurred today, truly makes our blood boil,” Sheriff Lewis said during a press conference.

Investigators have obtained surveillance footage showing multiple individuals firing weapons during the incident. A preliminary investigation has determined that at least two shooters were involved in the exchange of gunfire.

"Several thugs began shooting at each other," Lewis said. "In that, we had a number of suspects firing upon each other."

“Obviously, these guys don’t care who they shoot at or what they shoot,” he added. “These guys are idiots. They’re thugs and they need to be off the street.”

At this time, a person of interest, who is a teenager, has been taken into custody. Authorities are actively searching for the second suspect.

"I hope whoever was involved in this shooting, I hope you are watching," Lewis said. "I hope you know there is a team of people in this building, another team at the apartment complex, and there are multiple teams of people out on the roads that are going to find you."

Anyone with any information regarding the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers of Greenville anonymously at 23-CRIME or the Sheriff’s Office directly at 864-271-5210,
