Son shot entire family dead in South Carolina

An 18 year old teenager, shot and killed his entire family. The most heartbreaking was the report that his 14 year old brother tried to hide behind a clothes dryer, but was eventually found by the gun toting murderer and subsequently shot and killed.

What a jerk.

EASLEY, S.C. (AP) — An 18-year-old man gunned down his father, stepmother and two siblings at the home they shared in suburban South Carolina, authorities said Saturday.

Nathaniel Dickson, 18, was arrested 8:30 p.m. Saturday at a home in Belton about 20 miles from where the bodies of his family members were found, Anderson County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Susann Griffin said. He was charged with four counts of murder.

Less than 12 hours earlier, a 911 call led paramedics to find the father dead in the yard. Inside the home they found the other three victims, all shot to death.
