SCRANTON, SC (WBTW) – The mom charged in a shooting that left her two-year-old son hurt has been released on bond.
Tineisha Shaquala Cooper, 26, of Lake City, was released from the Florence County Detention Center at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Deputies arrested Cooper Tuesday and charged her with the unlawful neglect of a child and giving false information to law enforcement.
She faced a judge for a bond hearing Wednesday morning. Her bond was set at $7,000 for the neglect charge and $468 for her second charge.
The shooting happened on Nov. 24 in the 1900 block of Boyd Street in Scranton, according to arrest warrants obtained by News13.
Cooper told authorities she was at work during the time of the shooting, but later said she was at the location at the time of the shooting, the warrants say. The child was “seriously shot in the abdominal area of his body, causing severe and life-threatening injuries.”
Cooper “stated that at the time of the shooting, she ran out of the back door of the residence, and was gone for approx. five minutes without checking on the condition of her son,” warrants also say.
Warrants also allege that Cooper removed her daughter from school “to sit with her son while he was in the hospital receiving treatment for his gunshot injuries.”
Her two-year-old son is still in the hospital recovering, according to authorities.
Investigator Tyron Porter said the baby is having trouble walking and could have a ‘nerve issue.’
Cooper was booked into the Florence County Detention Center around 1:10 p.m. Tuesday, according to booking records.
Her next court appearance is set for Jan. 27.
