At a time when people just want to have some fun, stupid shit like this has to happen and make us question our faith in humanity.
Convicted felon fired AK-47 through door of his home at trick-or-treaters.
Child dies in Halloween shooting

A 12-year-old boy who was killed Friday night while trick-or-treating with his family on South Wise Drive was shot by a 22-year-old convicted felon with an AK-47 who fired in excess of 29 shots, said Sumter Police Chief Patty Patterson on Saturday.
DARRISAW
Tony “T.J.” Darrisaw, a Bates Middle School student, was shot several times, with a fatal wound to the head, she said, and pronounced dead at Tuomey Regional Medical Center shortly after 8:30 p.m. His 9-year-old brother Ahmadre and father Freddie Grinnell, who is in his 30s, were also shot, suffering non-life threatening injuries, she said; they are recovering at home.
PATRICK
Quentin Lamar Patrick, who has several drug convictions, has been charged with murder, two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill, and faces additional charges. Patterson said his girlfriend, Ericka Patrice Pee, 19, is being charged with obstruction of justice after she tried to leave the home following the shooting with a 2-year-old child and $7,500 in “bundled cash.”
Police seized the AK-47 and also found a 9 mm handgun in Patrick’s home.
Patterson called it an “awful tragedy,” as the family had left Halloween on Main and decided to stop at a few more houses when Patrick apparently opened fire as Darrisaw, two of his brothers and father approached Patrick's home at 215 S. Wise Drive and were shot through the door while standing on the porch, which was lit.
Darrisaw and his brothers were dressed up in “ghoulish” costumes, she said.
Patrick told investigators he’d been shot before and opened fire when he saw people with masks walking up to his house.
It is unknown if Patrick has legal representation, and a bond hearing has not been scheduled.
