SC’s idiot governor, Sanford, his escapades and constantly talking about them is trivial compared to the fear in this town of who’s going to die next. I saw a video piece on CBS about how practically every resident has armed themselves.
A 15-year-old South Carolina girl who was shot earlier this week by a man authorities say fits the description of a serial killer has died, police said Saturday.
Abby Tyler died at 11:25 a.m. Saturday at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, said Chief Rick Turner of the Gaffney Police Department.
Her father, Stephen Tyler, 48, was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting Thursday in the family-run furniture and appliance store, Tyler Home Center, in Gaffney.
On Friday, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office released a second sketch of a man believed to have fatally shot five people in less than a week.
“Let me say that under the FBI’s definition of a serial killer, yes, we have a serial killer,” Sheriff Bill Blanton said in Gaffney, a town in the county of about 54,000 residents 50 miles southwest of Charlotte, North Carolina.
He would not detail what has led investigators to conclude the shootings are linked or how they received the description of the suspect that has led to the two sketches. In addition, he said he did not know whether the shooter knew his victims or whether he may have chosen them at random.

But he cautioned against taking that too far. “Our concern is that people are going to start shooting at shadows,” he said.
If you’re driving in this area, do not knock on a door if you break down. This area is better armed than the Taliban.
Guy appears to a genetic morph between Kevin Costner & Billy Bob Thornton.
That’s Ernest T Bass, only less loveable:
No anti-gun arguments? No claims that the people should just leave it up to the police to protect the citizenry? Given that police have not tracked this guy down through his gun registration, I’m going to take a wild guess and say that his weapons were not legally obtained. Yep, the citizens should just stay at home and practice foul language. That’ll protect them.
