During the attack, the woman wrestled away Easterling's gun and managed to shoot Mikell in the neck. The cousins ran away after she shot at them. Mikell was not seriously injured.

In the unrelated case, the grand jurors indicted a Benedictine Military School student on charges he held-up a Wilmington Island McDonald's the night of his school's prom.

Cole McEachern, a sophomore at the time of the robbery, is charged with three counts of aggravated assault, armed robbery, kidnapping, kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated battery, burglary and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

Kerry Bennett, manager at the McDonalds on Johnny Mercer Boulevard, was shot in the left forearm while he was trying to wrestle away McEachern's gun. Bennett got it and shot the teenager in the groin, according to police reports.
