CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Charleston County sheriff’s deputies have made an arrest in what’s being called a domestic shooting in which two women and a girl were killed.

Maj. Eric Watson said in a news release that 23-year-old Kenneth Ancrum of Ravenel is charged with a count of murder in the shootings that happened Tuesday afternoon in Ravenel about 20 miles west of Charleston.

Watson says Ancrum is in the Charleston County jail and further charges are expected. It was not immediately known if he had an attorney.

The coroner has not yet released the names of the three victims.

A fourth woman was hospitalized with a leg wound but officials say the wound is not life-threatening. A 4-month-old child was found unharmed in a mobile home where the three dead women were found.
