US Community fears Serial Killer
People in a rural part of South Carolina have cancelled Independence Day events and are arming themselves in fear of a killer after five shootings.
A girl of 15 injured in an attack which killed her father on Thursday has died in hospital, the Cherokee County coroner announced. Police are linking their deaths to the shooting of two women and a man days before, and suspect a serial killer. They believe the suspect is a man in his 40s, driving a Ford Explorer. A police sketch has been released of a male who is said to be tall with salt and pepper hair. "We're knee-deep in the investigation," said County Sheriff Bill Blanton. "There's fear and concern here and there should be concern." He would not say how the five deaths were related but it is known that all victims were shot: • Abby Tyler died on Saturday after being wounded on Thursday as she worked with her father in an appliances store in Gaffney; Stephen Tyler, 45, was found dead at the scene • Relatives found Hazel Linder, 83, and her daughter Gena Linder, 50, bound and shot to death in their home on Wednesday, seven miles from the scene of the Tyler shootings • Peach farmer Kline Cash, 63, was found dead in his home by his wife on Saturday (27 June) The shootings all occurred within about 10 miles (16km) of each other in Cherokee County, a rural community of 54,000 people set amid peach orchards and farms some 50 miles west of Charlotte, North Carolina. Dozens of local, state and federal investigators have been assigned to the case. Cherokee County resident Hazel Smith, 47, told the Associated Press news agency her neighbours felt vulnerable. "If he killed once, he'll kill again," she said. "Tonight, I'm going to stay inside and pray, pray a little harder that he gets caught."

SC Serial killer
Reminds me of the Virginia/Maryland snipers a few years back. I think they'll eventually catch this guy but how many more must lose their lives before they do?
