4. Sheriff Bill Blanton

investigators from SC went to Gaston County NC to discuss where police there responded to a burglary call where a police officer was shot--returned fire and shot suspect. That investigation....evidence collected has identified suspect as same person who killed 5 people in Gaffney, SC
