Danny Smith (Source: Vickie Wilbanks) OCONEE COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – An 8-year-old and a 9-year-old boy have been charged with killing a man who was shot with a rifle while cutting down brush in a South Carolina field, authorities said.
Both boys shot at Danny Andrew Smith with a rifle as he rode his tractor in the field near Westminster on June 23, Oconee County Sheriff Mike Crenshaw said in a statement.
Deputies responded to Coffee Road last week after a missing man’s wife was looking for her husband after not being able to make contact with him.

Were their names Deshawn and Lemarcus?
Same here.
A few years ago. Some teenagers passed my dad who was on a tractor and threw a plastic bottle at him passing by in a car.
Some friends were on the same road a bit away and saw it happen.
The perps floored it and got out of dodge before anyone could get a plate. I doubt it would have done much good.
Bullish and Bullish.
He was shot with a 22 rifle. So, according to many of the gun experts on the internet he shouldn’t be dead. After all “it’s just a 22.” I’ve learned that .25acp, .32acp, .38 spec also are weak rounds that can’t hurt anybody through my extensive research on the internet. Oh yeah. Apparently 9mm also.
I wonder if these kids “learned” that too.
*shakeshead*
Un
Real
I don’t know they don’t say because they’re juveniles generally we believe it’s black kids but this is such a fluke I don’t know what a tragedy for the family and what do you do with an eight-year-old
Must be why hit men use 22’S,they are so ineffective
8 and 9 years old is old enough to know the difference between reality and a video game.
Are there any BLM members in either killer’s family?
No sense of right and wrong, no guidance zero parenting.
Got a hold of someones 22 and the rest is history as I hope these 2 will be.
“Oh, what’s becoming of the children?”
People asking each other”
Don’t give the government any ideas about funding a pointless study.
Oops, too late:
“Confirmed: Large-Caliber Guns More Likely to Kill”

38 39 what ever it took
What we have here is a PARENTING FAILURE.
Could have just been some dumb kids playing around. It wouldn’t be the first time.
Ban violent video games? Nah
Ban violent movies? Nah
Ban violent rap music? Nah
Get the guns out of law abiding people? Bingo
What a disgusting clown world we live in
Were their names Deshawn and Lemarcus?
I hate most people.
At 8 and 9, most likely they are just reckless and one tried to show off to the other that he could hit the tractor from the distance.
There’s a song that Johnny Cash sings about a teen that accidentally kills a man while being reckless with his weapon.
