Arrest Made In Child’s Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound
Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster has announced the arrest of a person in the November 16 self-inflicted gunshot wound of a four-year-old child.
Deputies served a warrant on Terrance Christopher Abrams, 25, of Gray Street, Newberry, for Unlawful Neglect of a Child Causing Great Bodily Injury. Abrams was denied bond by a summary court judge. He was out on bond a murder in the City of Newberry.
Sheriff Foster said that Abrams obtained a weapon that had been legally purchased by another person. Abrams, the biological father of the four-year-old, left the weapon in the home in a location that was easily obtained by the child.
Further charges may result in this incident. Sheriff Foster said that this “was a totally irresponsible act by a person who should not have had a weapon in the first place.” He went on to say that he (Abrams) should have never been out on bond from his previous charges.
The child remains in a medical facility.
