Four people were injured, including two children, in a Tuesday night shooting in the Panola community of Sumter County, authorities said.

A 3-year-old suffered a minor grazing-type gunshot wound in the incident that occurred in the 400 block of Piney Grove Drive, according to the State Bureau of Investigation and District Attorney Greg Griggers.

A juvenile, believed to be 12 or 13, suffered a minor gunshot wound to the arm, Griggers said.

A woman is now in stable condition after being shot in the neck, he said. A man suffered a gunshot wound to the chest. His injuries remain life threatening.

The Tuscaloosa News reported Leonard Lockett, 27, was arrested and charged with first-degree assault, shooting into an occupied dwelling and attempted murder in connection with the shooting.

The SBI is investigating the shooting on behalf of the Sumter County District Attorney's Office.

Both the SBI and Griggers declined to release the circumstances behind the shooting. No one at the Sumter County Sheriff's Office could be reached for comment.
