In Georgetown, South Carolina, an 18-year old boy attempting to defend himself in the dark against a neighbor’s dog pulled a gun and fired at least four shots at the dog.  One of the shots struck his 15-year old friend, who had fallen down, in the leg. The boy was treated at the hospital. The dog was struck twice, but is also expected to survive.
