South Carolina Store Owner Charged with Murder for Fatal Shooting of 14-Year-Old Boy

A South Carolina gas station owner has been charged with murder after fatally shooting a 14-year-old boy who he believed had shoplifted from his store. The boy had put the bottles back and was running away when he was killed. The shooter's son told him that the boy was armed, but there was no evidence that the boy ever pointed the weapon at the shooter or his son. The shooter is being held in jail, and a bond hearing will be held later. The shooting was not justified, according to the sheriff.
