Five people are dead, including two children, following a shooting inside a home in Rock Hill, South Carolina, according to the York County Sheriff's Office. A sixth person was also shot and has serious injuries. The suspect, authorities said, has been apprehended. "We have IDed the person we feel is responsible for the shooting on Marshall Rd. We found him in a nearby house. There is no active threat to the community," the York County Sheriff's Office tweeted. The sheriff's office identified the victims a Dr. Robert Lesslie, 70, and his wife, Barbara Lesslie, 69, their two grandchildren and James Lewis, 39, who was working at the home Wednesday when he was shot.

Shocking!
Horrible crime in SC
Bttt
These things are popping off everywhere. I wonder the name of shooter and gun used. Perhaps a ghost gun considering what biden will try to sign today.
Dreadful. RIP.
I lived there for a while in the late 80’s. I agree with you, this is shocking! It also breaks my heart to think about the doctor’s child who in one vicious, selfish act has lost both their parents and both of their children.
Sure, the info must be gone over, categorized and rewritten to insure that it fits the left's narrative on gun violence..
With 5 people dead from homicide which occurred Wednesday, I am surprised the spokesman felt a need to thank people for their patience the next day. Odd thing to say.
***I wonder the name of shooter****
Appears to be a neighbor -what could the doctor have done to be murdered?
For sure a mental issue I would guess unless a crime of passion. I think a lot of these could be from the lockdowns and restrictions making people snap.
Sick irony as the corpse in the White House will use this to justify abolishing 2A eventually by the 1000 cuts of EOs. America turns into bloodbath once a Democrat gets into power. I am not idiotic to think it’s all conspiracy but there has to be a explanation of increased violence.
Maybe the lockdowns and restrictions. Could be conspiracy or both. Blame Trump for the lockdowns and everything the dems wanted. Trump was forced into the lockdowns. The increase is for sure gonna be used for a attempt for taking guns. Wonder what gun was used in this case.

They have arrested an “alleged shooter” but have not given details....if it was a white guy..they’ll have named him, condemend him, condemned all white people, and called for gun confiscation all in the space of 1 hour!

thoughts and prayers
I originally speculated it was a neighbor because he went into a nearby house. Maybe not.
First thing came into mind before this reference...robbery.
Drs. home. Wealthy neighborhood?
Robber-murderer, eliminate witnesses?
“About” page for Dr. Leslie:

Prayers for all the victims, family, friends, and community. A major loss...
I just read on another site it was a home invasion and the local law enforcement sent out a notice describing the perp as a young black male.
Down this goes into the memory hole.
