A child was shot and injured Friday after someone opened fire on a home near Whiteville.
The sheriff’s office is investigating three separate reports of gunfire damaging property over the weekend.
Around 10:30 p.m. Friday, deputies were called to the 1800 block of Millie Christine Road, Whiteville. A woman and her boyfriend, along with three children, ages ten, nine and four, were in the home when an unknown person opened fire on the home. The nine-year-old was taken toc Columbus Regional for treatment. The child’s condition was not immediately available.
Around a half hour earlier, deputies responded to the 4000 block of Pocosin Road on another shooting. The victim in that case said someone in a dark car fired shots at him as he was driving home. He was not injured.
On Sunday, a resident of Williamson Trail in Evergreen called 911 after a shot struck his home. No one was hurt, and damage was minimal.
All three cases are under investigation.
