SUMTER, S.C. (WACH, AP) -- An 18-year-old pregnant woman has died and three other people have been injured in a shooting in a mobile home park in Sumter.

Eighteen-year-old Kiana Moore died at Tuomey Regional Medical Center from gunshot wounds and that the child she was carrying did not survive.

Sheriff's deputies arrived after neighbors reported gunshots late Wednesday on Cherry Vale Drive. The front windows in Moore's home had been shot out.

Three others had also been wounded, including 20-year-old David Acoff, 27-year-old Ebony Canty and Canty's 2-year-old son. Canty has been released from the hospital but Acoff and the 2-year-old had surgery and were listed in serious but stable condition.

Investigators say no arrests have been made at this time.  It is believed that several shooters were involved.

If you have any information that may help deputies find the suspects, you're urged to call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
