(Dillon County) - Dillon County deputies say an argument between a brother and a sister over a bag of potato chips led to a shooting.

WBTW-TV reports that the incident happened Tuesday night. According to deputies, a 10-year-old boy shot his nine-year-old sister in the face with a shotgun.

Investigators say the two were arguing over the chips. Authorities say at some point, the boy left the room, got a shotgun out of his father's room, and shot the girl in the face.

The gunfire hit the girl on the right cheek.

The children reportedly ran to get help from their grandmother. The girl was taken to the hospital and is expected to be okay; however, she will need plastic surgery.

Investigators are said to be considering charges in family court of assault and battery with intent to kill.

Being the oldest of my 2 siblings, when I got to an age of being able to make halfway rational thoughts, I always worried that one of them might do something irrational like this. I know those kind of thoughts definitely raced through my head a few times when I was their age.

Definitely never did though...
