The gunman who shot and killed 5 people, including two children in South Carolina on Wednesday has now been identified as former NFL running back Philip Adams.

The victims included a prominent South Carolina doctor, his wife, and his grandchildren as well as a man who had been working at his home at the time of the shooting.

Adams reportedly took his own life early Thursday morning:

As South Carolina News 2 reports:

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The gunman who killed five people including a prominent doctor in South Carolina was former NFL pro Phillip Adams, who killed himself early Thursday, according to a source who was briefed on the investigation.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly, said Adams’ parents live near the doctor’s home in Rock Hill, and that he had been treated by the doctor. The source said Phillips killed himself after midnight with a .45 caliber weapon…

The York County coroner’s office said Dr. Robert Lesslie, 70, and his wife, Barbara Lesslie, 69, were pronounced dead at the scene along with grandchildren Adah Lesslie, 9, and Noah Lesslie, 5.

A man who had been working at the home, James Lewis, 38, from Gaston, was found shot to death outside, and a sixth person was hospitalized with “serious gunshot wounds,” York County Sheriff’s Office’s spokesperson Trent Faris said.

          1. How long does Biden have to be in office before people can blame him?

            Asking for a freind.

          2. You can’t blame PINO Joe, he LOVES black people. And black people don’t need guns. The white people will protect and guide them! C’mon man!
            (sarcasm)

        1. well mental infant it is very subtle and not noticeable. I did not get it and I recognize more sarcasm than most.

  1. Just a thought: have some of these “mass” killers been hypnotized and programmed to kill — with a gun, of course — maybe just to give “ammo” to the gun-control fanatics?!!

      1. Oh … it DID!!!
        These are all because of Trump!
        You know …
        Trump’s Derangement Syndrome (they’ve been talking about it for YEARS!!!)
        Ohhh … wait …

    1. I truely believe that many of these mass shootings are set up in some fashion or way. Like these gun grabbers find mentally unhinged people and lead them to do these terrible actions. Maybe it is they know something will happen and they either let it happen or give that happening nudges???

      1. It is entirely possible to give an unstable person nudges in the direction you want them to go including committing violent acts. It can even be used on relatively stable persons by someone skilled enough. Think CIA, remember they experimented extensively with this in the 50s through at least the 70s if not longer. Being as they are the CIA it is unlikely we will ever find out the full truth about those experiments.

  2. Well this will get zip Media attention. Adams isn’t white, so it doesn’t fit the narrative.

  3. How come all you stupid liberals tag every shooter as White Supremacists?
    Phillip Adams is African American.

    1. It’s sometimes difficult to communicate with just the written word in a short comment online. No tone. No inflection. No facial expressions.

      That comment was pure sarcasm.

  4. Mind control furnished by the CIA. All of these murders thanks to the CIA with obozo joe’s best wishes.

  5. So a black man kills an entire family and the media will probably remain silent on this. But Biden will use it as another excuse to sign an illegal executive order to take away or limit our 2nd amendment rights!

  6. To AAN news I believe you’re involved in distorting the conversation regarding this terrible crime. IH8LIBS is a set up, who is drawing John into a programed distraction of the news truth. American Action News what is your part in setting up these conversations? Fellow US citizens become aware of how we are being manipulated and drawn into this media and political fraud. Yes there is genuine loss of life and probably some mental illness involved here and we need to remain involved in the tragedy of loss of life…walk away from this type of the media & politicians using sensationalism to cause unrest and distrust. Be cautious and write or call reliable Reps. and Senators, do not become a tool of the hateful distortion of real facts.

  7. Another BLACK SUPREMACIST KILLS MULTIPLE PEOPLE, MSM will do a quick story, but then it’ll be swept under the carpet. HYPOCRISY, HYPOCRISY, HYPOCRISY!!!
    I imagine this is one of the CRYBABIES OF THE BLM, AND NFL COMMUNIST PARTY, NBA WILL BE NEXT, THEY ARE JUST AS BAD.

  8. And Now! Will the MSM and the Biden White House identify this murdering bastard as a racist “White Man”? Why not identify the murdering bastard as a racist Negro? You don’t think the MSM or the White House spokesmen (including senile old Joe Biden) are, themselves, racist, do you? Answer. Of course they are! They are the very worst of America’s racists – the type that lie and call other people racist. If there is a God, he should damn all Democrats for the sorry pieces of lying trash they really are.

    1. There IS….”a God”…aka. “I Am that I Am”…and he is watching and waiting, for the perfect-season…nay!…the perfect STORM, to strike! Be a ‘watcher’ and be ‘ready’…for the 180 pound hailstones to start falling with the accuracy of laser/GPS guided ‘smart-bombs’…among the other “divine” tools of “Divine correction” and the TRUE “Global Reset” that has ‘left the station’. Amen! 😉

  9. There have been numerous incidents such as this among former NFL players, primarily due to concussions sustained in professional football. The impact of decades of head injuries can spark a propensity to violence and, no, it is not a function of race. Many professional athletes who have suffered concussions or used steroids to improve their athletic performance find out too late that there is a downside to professional competition and taking shortcuts to improve performance. Lyle Alzado from the Los Angeles Raiders comes to mind. I would be interested to know what the circumstances of this young man’s treatment and if future incidences like this can be prevented. The NFL does a terrible job of insuring its former players with health benefits after the age of 50, and it is not surprising that many former NFL players fall through the cracks in terms of adequate healthcare for concussions, injured knees and hips and overall health. The NFL is considered a nonprofit and yet Roger Gadell, its commissioner, earns a nine-figure salary. Perhaps that should be re-evaulated, and our favorite sports figures should receive decent health benefits, perhaps requiring players to devote five percent of their income to a health savings account.

  10. We can stop people violence by identifying people with mental disorders and locking them in a treatment facility, identifying MS13, Latin Kings and all the other gangs and locking them up for life. Use a gun in the commission of a crime … earn the death sentence immediately … no appeals.

  11. The black supremacists of the blm riot branch, are threatening to unleash HELL if the cop is found NOT GUILTY, what will you do biden, wray, to protect the brave police officers, to protect the stores that will definitely be looted and destroyed, protect personal property??? If this is allowed, WATCH OUT.
