A 16-year-old was injured after shots were fired from the road and into two homes on Archie Sumpter Road on Thursday evening, according to the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department.
Around 10:30 p.m., deputies reached a residence on Archie Sumpter Road after receiving a call of reported gunfire.
The teen was sitting on a couch when a bullet penetrated a wall of the home and struck him, a Friday afternoon alert said. He was taken to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released.
Two homes were damaged by the Thursday evening gunfire, the department said.
The shooting comes a day after a Hardeeville teen was shot and injured Wednesday night at the Hilton Head Gardens apartment complex, which is about an hour from Archie Sumpter Road.
