I am not trying to be comical or anything but wanted to point out that it favors Billy Bob Thornton (actor). I sat and thought that he looked familiar for quite some time and came to the conclusion that this must be the face that this monster resembles. An idea if the sketch is not working for you. Google him, as I said he looks a lot like him. My prayers are with the families and friends of the victims, it broke my heart to hear the young girl passed today.
1volsfan- I am one of those people who had never shot a pistol until yesterday. After getting a gun from a friend and fighting to find some place that wasn’t sold out of bulletts my husband took me out and taught me how. Hopefully everyone is doing the same not just riding around and had never fired one. Take the time to learn. And be safe about it.
I agree with everyone this guy looks so familiar. My husband and I were talking last night and we just know he is someone from our area. And in like most cases like this when he is caught everyone is going to be in disbelief cause he will be the last person we expect. Happy 4th everyone and be safe.
The thing that’s in the back of my mind is we have people riding around with guns in there car and some if not most of these people have never fired a gun before. This is not the Wild West and we must be careful. Protect your home and don’t ride around looking to shoot someone you think is the suspect.
The last shootings were at a business… Aren’t there any security videos of this guy? 250 seems high for the facial view.. What is this guy’s body type? Are those eyes blue, brown, hazel? People here are driving around with guns in hand looking for this guy and while I share the sentiment of wanting this guy REMOVED from our harm, my fear is all we have is a pencil sketch—THIS DEVIL is in the details… I beg the powers that be - IF there is more info, PLEASE share it with the public so no innocents are hurt needlessly…
He looks familiar to me too… I sat here last night and just stared at this photo hoping it would come to me. I came to the conclusion he favors the comedian Bill Engvall. I live in Gaffney and I just want this person caught…. My children are terrified. Hopefully someone will be able to tell who this person is and then we can all sleep and go about our regular lives in peace again.
I really wish someone in Gaffney would use their scanner to provide a feed to radioreference.com….I can’t pick up anything here on my scanner. If anyone out there can do this (I’m willing to help you out via e-mail or instant message if need it) Please, please do it!
I don’t know a name but this guy looks very familiar. Somebody I’ve seen in my area. I keep going over the last time I saw this guy over and over in my head. It freaks me out knowing he lives and operates among us..I’m totally freaked out right now because I do believe he is someone I’ve seen before. He normally isn’t clean shaven.
U know the guy didnt look familar at all and now he looks so familiar that it is scary i think that if we all work togather then we can figure out who this guy is. Gaffney is so small that everyone know everyone and some one knows him we just need to connect our Brains n get this creep!! My prayers go out to all these families n for this guy he is one sick man but something is deffinitaly wrong with him. God bless and everyone be safe.
Does anyone know where all the these people went to church? I heard Cherokee a few times but I didn’t know if they were they same. Maybe they could look into that.
