HARTSVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- Authorities say a 5-year-old girl has died from an accidental shooting at a home in Hartsville.

Darlington County sheriff's Captain Andy Locklair says Sha'Diamond Graham was playing with a gun on Sunday night when it went off, and she was shot.

The girl was pronounced dead at a hospital. Authorities are still investigating, but Locklair said officers think the shooting was an accident.

No one has been charged in the shooting, and authorities did not immediately say who owned the gun. The shooting happened at the home of someone who was taking care of the girl and several other young children.
