Katelyn Self, a deputy with the Gaston County Sheriff's Office, was killed at the Surf and Turf Lodge in Bessemer City, officials announced at a news conference Sunday afternoon. The second woman who died was identified by Fox 46 as Amanda Self.
Investigators said that 62-year-old Roger Self, Katelyn Self's father, and reportedly Amanda Self's father-in-law, drove right into the restaurant -- apparently on purpose.
The Gaston Gazette reported that restaurant staff claimed Roger Self went with his family to the restaurant and had them seated. The father then allegedly went outside and purposely drove his Jeep into the building.

Pure evil. You can see it in his eyes. He had probably planned this attacks for weeks, if not months or years.
Not unlike the other mass killers of late, there were probably signs that he would one day attack.
Its bcuz of the automatic fuel.system...need a new fueler pedal
that needs to be depressed or activated for every ten feet desired to move. Need 3 gallon gas tanks also. Seriously tho, If man was taking ssri meds for depression that needs to be looked into and result should enter into decision tree to use ssri meds all the time...
Drug-test the guy...he’s got something in his system.
Because of this incident I cannot in good conscience drive, or even sell my 64 Chevy to someone who MAY use it in an irresponsible manner. It has a 327 which should be classified as an ASSAULT ENGINE. So I am going to have it crushed and form a group, everytown for vehicle sense. I will petition Congress to enact SENSIBLE VEHICLE CONTROLS. Nobody needs a car with more then 4 cylinders or engines larger than 2 liters. (Better keep my mouth shut or they’ll get more stupid ideas)
I wonder if the drugs actually made the depression worse. Some of those antidepressants really can have the opposite intended effects on some folks. Exacerbate stuff. Sounds like he was getting worse even on the meds.
Its the fully automatic transmission that makes the car MORE LETHAL.
I can’t remember
Was that a two speed or a three speed semi-automatic?
He was probably a tyrant at home. male family anialators tend to see their families as props they can use rather than beloved human beings.
Roger Self is father to Katelyn Self; and is father-in-law to Amanda Self, which suggests that the two women were “married”.
Sounds like a Selfish bunch.
Self centered for sure.
My guess was way off. Sounds like the old boy had depression problems. Horrible thing.
FYI- Dallas, NC not Dallas, TX.
Mama has been following this mess on Local (Charlotte,NC) tv snooze. It appears that he has had MENTAL PROBLEMS for a while, Firearms removed from access by him- supposedly self induced. On Meds, Doctor (mental) visits, etc.
This was obviously premeditated. He should have never had access to any vehicle IMO. If hes giving up Firearms the Keys should go also. Very messed up situation.
He Murdered his own Children for Gods Sake!!!! That is seriously F-ed up there!!!
All that said, Gaston and Gastonia are like a mini-Charlotte/Mecklenburg County- a wanna be worse than Chicago when it comes to Crime and things that should have never happened.
Rod Serling should introduce the Snooze Clips for the place...
I miss Schlotzkys Sandwiches and the closest one is in Gastonia- I dont miss them that much.
Ill have to look but Im fairly certain You have things crossed up with the Girls.
IIRC- one was Married and the other one was due to be in 2 weeks or so. And not to any other Women.
i dont know about evil. i see fear in his eyes
It had 3 speeds. Usually, you’d use the clutch to get it rolling and shift manually from 1st to 2nd, then it would shift into 3rd without clutching.
No, the sign should have said "This restaurant is a motor vehicle-free zone"
Since we dont know if he was even taking anything that is pure fiction
Well his defense attorney will have that angle lined up if true, I imagine.
