Anderson County Sheriff’s Deputies say a father shot his wife and child before shooting himself inside a home on Foster Road in Williamston around 8:47 p.m. Wednesday night.
Early Thursday morning investigators told News 2 that 24-year old Brad Tinsley shot his estranged wife Ashley and 4-year-old son Zachary then turned the gun on himself.
Coroner Don McCown said it appears Brad died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. An autopsy is planned for Wednesday to determine an official cause of death. The mother and child were rushed to
Greenville Hospital System. They are expected to survive. The family has another child, a 6-year-old, but that child was not home at the time of the shooting, according to investigators.
Law officers have not said what prompted the shootings.
