Horrible.

Dr. Robert Lesslie, 70, and his wife, Barbara Lesslie, 69, were pronounced dead at the scene along with grandchildren Adah Lesslie, 9, and Noah Lesslie, 5, the York County coroner’s office said.

A man who had been working at the home, James Lewis, 38, from Gaston, was found shot to death outside, and a sixth person was hospitalized with “serious gunshot wounds,” York County Sheriff’s Office's spokesperson Trent Faris said.

As tragic as murdering the doctor and his wife it’s the killing of the grandchildren that makes this really disturbing to me.

CTE affects your mind in weird ways, including unreasoning paranoia. WWE star Chris Benoit's murder-suicide of his wife and kid comes to mind.

Kind of irks me that the news is giving him a pass and this poor man must have had mental issues. Maybe, but that is not the leap that people normally make right away. Family and friends said they didn't see this coming so I doubt it was a long term CTE issue, but like was said we won't know until an autopsy is done.

It is a tragedy for the murdered victims and their families not the bastard that murdered them.

Let’s not blame CTE here 1 We don’t know if he had it 2 How many people with CTE are murderers?

Agree. CTE has become the de facto excuse / diagnosis for all incidents involving ex players.

I think more important that how many are murderers is the questions they are still trying to answer regarding CTE which is how much human tragedy is associated with CTE. We know suicide is greatly associated with it, violent outbursts have been associated with it, and at least a few murders.

but in this case, that is not the question of the hour. The question is why did it happen, and what do we need to do to prevent it going forward. I feel for the families and friends and we are going to discuss the possible reasons but we really need to let medical science do their job first

Seriously, why does this matter to the horrific news story?

Adams is the second former Oakland Raiders player to be responsible for the murders of multiple people.
Total hack journalism, and I mean that it would be no better if that was said about a Chargers player or any other team, Irrelevant piece to put in.

R.I.P. to all involved and their families.

I'd hardly call brain damage an excuse. When you're brain doesn't work, your brain doesn't work.
