4 killings shock family, neighbors

[raccoon]

ANDERSON -- An 18-year-old described by neighbors as a courteous, polite and average boy was arraigned Sunday on four counts of murder, accused of gunning down four members of his family in a quiet suburban neighborhood.


Nathaniel Casey Dickson wore an orange jumpsuit and tilted his head slightly to the left for most of the five-minute hearing.

Twelve of the victims' relatives crammed into a small courtroom as Dickson appeared on closed-circuit television from the county Detention Center.

Dickson has been charged with four counts of murder in the shootings Saturday of his father, Samuel Andrew Dickson, 46; brother, Taylor Alex Dickson, 14; Maritza Hurtado Dickson; and her daughter, Melissa Jiliam Salazar, 19, warrants said.

I'll be really interested to hear the inside story on this.

1. How horrible

The entire incident saddens and depresses me, but learning that the shooter apparently shot his younger brother who was trying to hide behind the dryer just...I can't even begin to describe what I feel.
