VIDEO | Horror in South Carolina: Former US soldier killed his colleague and three children, then took the decision himself
A former soldier shot and killed an active-duty member of the U.S. military and three children at a South Carolina home before shooting himself, officials said today.
Two US officials confirmed that they were military personnel.
The police said that the bodies of three children and two men were found, and it is assumed that one of them is the killer.
The investigation is ongoing, and unofficially there are witnesses who told what happened.
The identity of the victims has not been released.
The names of all those killed will probably be announced tomorrow, he announced USNews.
“It was a long night. "This was a terrible thing," said the coroner.
"The school district is grieving the loss of three elementary school students and one high school student," the superintendent said William Wright.
