NO. He killed his daughter in law who was a nurse and married to his son. Also his daughter.
From Gaston Gazette:
“District Attorney Locke Bell, who said he has known Self for more than 30 years, said the prominent Dallas businessman will face two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his daughter, Katelyn Self, who was a deputy with the Gaston County Sheriff’s Office, and his daughter-in-law, Amanda Self, a nurse at CaroMont Regional Medical Center.
Amanda Self was the wife of Gaston County Police Officer Josh Self, who also was seriously injured in the incident, along with Roger Self’s wife, Diane, and the 13-year-old daughter of Josh and Amanda Self. Several other family members were present, but were not injured. Family friends have said Josh Self and Diane Self, along with Roger Self’s granddaughter, are all expected to recover from their physical injuries.”
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 he’s 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 Schlotzky’s Sandwiches and the closest one is in Gastonia- I don’t miss them that much.
