CHESTER, S.C. — A Chester County woman is in jail for murder after police say she shot and killed her 6-year-old son on Thanksgiving day.
According to an incident report released by The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office, Mary Rosborough, 31, shot and killed her son with a deer rifle after returning home from hunting around 6:30 p.m. on November 25th.
Police say after shooting her son once, Rosborough attempted to reload her gun, but after hearing the shot her brother, William Rosborough, wrestled the gun away from her and forced her to the ground.
William Rosborough was then able to detain his sister until officers arrived at the home on Old Douglas Road.
William Rosborough says while wrestling with his sister he recalled her saying something to the effect of she “wanted to send the baby to heaven.”
He told police that his sister had been struggling with drug addiction prior to this incident, but there was no indication of any behavioral change that would lead him or anyone else to believe she would shoot her son.
Grandparents to 6-year-old Jase Wise took him to a hospital in Chester following the shooting, where investigators say he later died.
Police say Rosborough has since been charged with Murder and Possession of a Weapon during a Violent Crime.
A memorial service with full Scout Honors was held for Jase Wise at Barron Funeral Home on Wednesday, December 1st.
