YORK COUNTY, S.C. — The father of a former NFL player Phillip Adams, who is the suspect in a shooting that left prominent Rock Hill Dr. Robert Lesslie and four other people dead, said his son took his own life after shooting six people in York County, South Carolina, Wednesday.

Alonzo Adams, the father of Phillip Adams, a former NFL player and college football star at South Carolina State, said his son shot six people, killing five, before taking his own life.

“I can say he’s a good kid,” Alonzo Adams said. “I think the football messed him up.”

Officials would not say Thursday if the former NFL player had any known medical conditions.

Before Thursday, York County celebrated Adams’ 2005 Rock Hill High School graduation and the collegiate and professional success that followed on the football field.

Adams played football at South Carolina State University after high school.

After college, Adams began a several-year NFL career. In his early days of playing professionally, Adams reportedly suffered two concussions.

In recent months, the 32-year-old Adams reminisced about his playing days on Instagram.

“He was a good kid. He was a good kid,” his dad said. “He didn’t talk much and he didn’t bother nobody.”

A self-described [N.S.: Meaningless, and an anticipatory non sequitur] disciplined athlete, court records show a judge recently found Adams guilty of traffic violations and fined him stemming from a February York County traffic stop. Court records show the judge disposed his case on April 6.

“I don’t think he ever did anybody any harm,” Alonzo Adams said [GRA: He more than made up for THAT lull] before saying he knew the family. “All I can say is we pray for the family. He used to be my doctor a long time ago. I know they were good folks down there. We’re gonna keep them in our prayers.”

[GRA: Rule #1: Don’t associate with blacks—you’re chances of a shortened life go up considerably—and you never know when it will happen.]

York County Sheriff’s Office investigators said Adams killed five people, including grandparents and their two grandchildren. Two contractors at the home were also shot. One of them succumbed to their injuries.
