Ex-NFL linebacker Brandon Spikes speaks out after Phillip Adams allegedly kills 5 in South Carolina shooting

Former NFL linebacker Brandon Spikes, who played with Phillip Adams for a portion of the 2011 season when the two were on the New England Patriots, urged his former teammates to reach out if they need anything.

"Omg so sad. I remember buddy in the locker room This why i do my best 2 check on my people when i can. Teammates don’t hesitate to hit my line if u need to talk it’s been the same since 7th grade," Spikes tweeted. "Damn that s—t broke my heart." There’s been speculation over what caused Adams to allegedly go into a rage and leave Dr. Robert Lesslie, his wife, their two grandkids and an air-conditioning technician dead, with another injured.
