Frantic mom wrecks on way to hospital after 4-year-old son shot during domestic dispute

A South Carolina woman was injured in a multi-vehicle crash as she rushed to a hospital with her 4-year-old son, who had been shot in the chest by his father during a domestic dispute.

Travis Carlton was arrested in connection with the shooting, but the 21-year-old Easley man has not yet been formally charged.

Witnesses said the woman began screaming after the Monday evening crash, which happened about a mile from the family’s home, that her son had been shot, and they rushed to help.

“She pulled up his shirt, (and) he had a gunshot wound to his chest,’” said neighbor Heath Charnovic, who ran inside his home to grab some towels. “All I could think to do was put pressure on his back and front.”

Emotional people should not be driving in a time of crisis.

The EMTs will be giving medical assistance on the way to the hospital.
