Tragically, Philip Adams, a former NFL player, took the lives of five individuals in Rock Hill before ending his own life.
In the tranquil city of Rock Hill, South Carolina, on April 7, a shocking incident unfolded that left five innocent lives taken and another severely injured. The shooter in this tragic event was identified as former NFL player Phillip Adams.
The victims of the incident were 70-year-old doctor Robert Lesslie, his 69-year-old wife, their 9 and 5-year-old grandchildren, and a 38-year-old man doing yard work at the Lesslie's property. The identity of the second worker who was severely injured was not provided.
Sheriff Kevin Tolson stated that the motive for the crime has not yet been established. However, unofficial sources report that Adams was previously a patient of Dr. Lesslie. The underlying motivation for the tragedy is believed to be linked to Adams' brain injury from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which may have caused severe mental health issues leading to the horrific act.
Phillip Adams played in the NFL for five years and 78 games from 2010 to 2015, playing for six different teams. The concussions he suffered in 2012 may have played a significant role in the events. Tragically, Adams Jr. took his own life by shooting himself in the head following the incident.
In response to the tragedy, police evacuated Adams' parents from their home and went to the residence, accompanied by dogs. Police also asked Adams to surrender, but he did not comply. The 38-year-old man who was doing yard work at the Lesslie's property was not identified.
Robert Lesslie was a respected doctor in the community, and his death has left a profound impact on the city. The incident occurred at the Lesslie's home, which is located near the residence of Adams' parents.
As the investigation continues, the community of Rock Hill grapples with the loss of five innocent lives and the shocking actions of a former member of their beloved NFL team. The city stands together in mourning, seeking answers and healing in the aftermath of this tragic event.
