Three people have been arrested in connection to a double shooting in Scotland County.

Just before 1am on Sunday, police responded to the 400 block of Hood Drive in Laurinburg. Upon arrival, a 23-year-old mother and a 2-year-old child were found suffering from gunshot wounds.

The mother was taken to a hospital where she was treated and released. The 2-year-old was also treated and has since been listed as stable.
