GAFFNEY, South Carolina (CNN) — Police in Gaston County, North Carolina, shot and killed a robbery suspect early Monday, and then called in police from South Carolina who have been chasing a serial killer.

There was “evidence in regard to the man that was shot,” said Capt. Joe Ramey of the Gaston County Police Department.

Ramey did not give specifics, and said he could not state for certain whether the suspect had a link to the serial killer case.

“We saw evidence they needed to know about,” Ramey said.

Gaston County is about 33 miles northeast of Gaffney, South Carolina. Police say a serial killer in the Gaffney area has killed five people since late June.

Thank God you’re here.

I’d naturally assumed all along that you were the serial killer, working the next state over.

I’m glad I’m wrong this time.

This time. *raises eyebrow*

[Frantzie]

LOL! I never want to hurt a fly including almost most bugs - yeah weird.

This guy if he is the one - I would have emptied a clip into the bastid. I would have kept pulling the trigger on this monster.

[deport]

One and the same hasn’t been confirmed as of yet. They are cross checking info before a confirmation or denial is issued.

[freedomwarrior998]

Those evil jackbooted thug killers ran into a house in the middle of the night with no cause and gunned down the homeowner who was only trying to defend himself. They are fascists of the highest order. There is no excuse for this thuggery. This is a free nation. Anarchy!!!!! License!!!! Do what is right in your own eyes!!!! No law applies to me!!!!!

[/sarcasm]

Sadly you are right... We hear this trash all the time at FR for some reason. Usually it's the dope fiends that get the ball rolling, but no always.

[Constitution Day]

Thanks for the link. I live quite a bit east of there, but Gaston County is west of Charlotte.

[JRandomFreeper]

Welcome to North Carolina. Ya'll have a nice day.

Texas boy says that NC is a cool state to be deployed to. Better if they take out the trash like this.

If he’s the one - this is great news!!!!

PLEASE GOD MAKE IT BE HIM!

The Virginia State Police were double-thick along I495 and I95 early on Sunday with lots of cars pulled over. Two troopers per pulled over car is unusual. We wondered if they were looking for the serial killer along I95.

[mbynack]

Reminds me of the cop killer that was shot in Florida two years ago. The reporter asked the cop doing the press briefing why they shot the guy 38 times. The cop replied, “they probably ran out of bullets.”

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

The more pertinent question would be, how did they manage to shoot him from a speed trap?

[WashingtonSource]

This is muddle reporting. No idea what’s going on.

[reagan_fanatic]

cop-haters asking why they had to shoot him in 3...2...1...

Sadly, you're right on target.

[WVKayaker]

A few well placed bullets are always better than a jury of 12, in a case like this. Why warehouse another monster?

...

From CNN:

In Gaston County in the early morning hours Monday, police received a call about an alleged burglary in progress, police said. When they arrived at the residence, they found inside two people who lived at the residence and a third who "was an acquaintance," police said in a news release.

"A second check on the suspect individual uncovered an outstanding warrant" from nearby Lincoln County. "Officers attempted to serve the outstanding warrant when the suspect pulled a gun and fired at officers. Officers returned fire killing the suspect."

One officer was shot in the leg and has been treated and released from a hospital, police said.

South Carolina police are investigating whether the shooting is linked to the serial killer case.

did he drive into the front of a donut shop? why didn’t they just tase him? /s

[Andonius_99]

Poor guy, he was probably just turning his life around...

[Sacajaweau]

btt

[MBB1984]

THAT’S HIM!

[WayneS]

Shot guns.

That’s the correct firearm for trap shooting.

[willgolfforfood]

Serial killer from the South...bet his middle name turns out to be “Wayne”.

[GOPJ]

Reminds me of the cop killer that was shot in Florida two years ago. The reporter asked the cop doing the press briefing why they shot the guy 38 times.

The cop replied, “they probably ran out of bullets.”

Every cop in the country should answer that question the same. We need to quit being ashamed of "not protecting evil".

[WayneS]

Almost certainly...

[camle]

that pic looks like a cross between nancy pelosi and yoko ono

[BykrBayb]

He was such a good boy. Never hurt a fly. The cops just shot him because they could. /s

On the flip side...

Cops should never have to explain themselves, or defend their actions. They should shoot first, and arrest the questioners later. /s

And then there are the rest of us. Sometimes the cops are right, and sometimes they’re wrong. They should be responsible for their actions, but shouldn’t be punished for doing their jobs properly.

[wolfcreek]

If he’s the one, saved SC citizens mucho dinero.

I can't tell you how relieved I am to find that I wasn't the only one thinking that.

[Travis T. OJustice]

LOL!

[Joe 6-pack]

They killed Billy Bob Thornton?!?!

[Allegra]

Serial killer from the South...bet his middle name turns out to be “Wayne”.

LOL - John Wayne Gacy.

Elmer Wayne Henley.

Those are two right off the top of my head. I think you're on to something.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Or people who believe in the constitution.

[envisio]

Yes... where? I live near and have friends in Kings Mtn.

[balch3]

that is funny, I don’t care who you are.

[Constitution Day]

I live near Rocky Mount.

[Lee'sGhost]

LMAO!

[Constitution Day]

BTW: If you look down the thread, it’s in Gaston County. I am not sure if it’s Gastonia or not.

John Wayne Gacy was from Chicago, not the south, but Elmer Wayne Henley is Texan.

Interesting catch.
