UPDATE 12:25 P.M. — The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office says a woman was airlifted to the hospital after a shooting incident occurred in the Clover community on March 17.

Around 1 a.m. deputies received a call regarding a female at a home on Black Walnut Road reporting her ex-boyfriend, later identified as 34-year-old Carlissto Sosa, was allegedly trying to harm her.

Deputies arrived at the scene within minutes and allegedly witnessed the unidentified woman holding a baby. Sosa then allegedly pushed the woman and began shooting at her and the deputies. Officers returned fire but Sosa fled the scene on foot.
