A child was shot Monday when two teenagers were shooting guns in the street, according to the Simpson County Sheriff’s Department.

The child was hit, and police say the two teens left the scene on scooters after a grandparent of the victim confronted them.

Through the course of this investigation the two were taken into custody at a residence on McLaurin Drive in Magee. Charges are currently pending through Simpson County Justice Court.
