South Carolina sheriff emotional recalling doctor, family slain by ex-NFL cornerback Phillip Adams
Fox News
A South Carolina sheriff delivered an emotional remembrance during a news conference after a former NFL cornerback killed five people, including a prominent local doctor and two children, and then himself.
It happened in Rock Hill, S.C., about 25 miles outside Charlotte, N.C., Wednesday evening. The victims were Dr. Robert Lesslie, 70, his wife, Barbara Lesslie, 69, and their two grandchildren, ages 5 and 9, all found dead in a room at the back of the house, Tolson said. James Lewis, 39, was working at the home and found dead outside. Lewis’ coworker remained hospitalized in critical condition Thursday. "We tend to eulogize and canonize folks and it kind of waters it down, but I would not want to water down anything that Dr. Lesslie did or meant for this community," Tolson continued. "He knew everyone. He treated everyone with respect."More Related News
