Ex-NFL player Phillip Adams reportedly had medication taken away before South Carolina killings

A prominent South Carolina doctor who was one of five people allegedly gunned down by former NFL player Phillip Adams on Wednesday had stopped giving him medication, which triggered the killings, according to officials. 

"My understanding, he was treating him, and had, from my understanding, stopped giving him medicine, and that’s what triggered the killings," Norman said, citing law enforcement. Norman was a close friend of the Lesslie family.  Adams forced his way into Lesslie's Rock Hill home and killed the 70-year-old doctor, his wife, Barbara Lesslie, their two grandkids, ages 5 and 9, and an air conditioning contractor, James Lewis, 39, before killing himself, authorities said. Another air condition tech was wounded and flown to a hospital.
