US shooting suspect identified as ex-NFL player
Authorities in South Carolina have identified the man suspected of shooting and killing five people as former NFL player Phillip Adams.
Dr Robert Lesslie, 70; his wife, Barbara Lesslie, 69; grandchildren Adah Lesslie, 9; and Noah Lesslie, 5; and worker James Lewis, 38, were killed.
The family were found in their home in Rock Hill, South Carolina, 30 miles (48km) from Charlotte, North Carolina.
The attack came as President Joe Biden announced new gun control measures.
Officials said the murders were committed on Wednesday evening by Mr Adams, 32, who then killed himself after a standoff with police.
What do we know about the shooting?
Police said that Mr Adams' parents live near the doctor's home, and that he shot himself in a bedroom there after police attempts to get him to leave the house voluntarily failed.
The motive for the attack remains unclear. pg slot
"There's nothing right now that makes sense to any of us," York County Sheriff Kevin Tolson told reporters on Thursday.
Earlier on Thursday, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, Trent Faris, said that "Dr Lesslie was my doctor growing up".
"Dr Lesslie has been one of those people that everybody knows," he said, describing the doctor as "a staple in Rock Hill for years".
A person who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity said that Dr Lesslie had treated Mr Adams.
