Stameys spent time with Patrick Burris before his death
Mark and Sharon Stamey told WCNC-TV in Charlotte they "partied" with Burris for several days after the murders in Cherokee County.
The couple said he was very secretive and they didn't know a lot about him. The Starney's said the partying binge lasted until the morning when Burris was killed.
Gaston County Police say they shot and killed Burris after he opened fire on officers who were investigating a burglary call.
The couple also said it never occurred to them that their new friend was the man wanted in Gaffney. They say Burris seemed especially interested in the coverage of the case on television.
Mark and Sharon Starney were questioned for hours by police and then released.
