| GAFFNEY, S.C. (July 3) - Terrified residents canceled Fourth of July plans and holed up in their homes Friday as investigators hunted a serial killer believed to have shot four people to death. Tanya Phillips had been looking forward to a backyard barbecue at her brother's house but instead planned to stay home with her doors locked. "I'm not taking any chances," said Phillips, 32, a mother of two who works in a day-care center. "I'll go out during the day, but not at night. I just don't feel safe." Plenty of evidence links the killings, though officials have not yet determined how the victims are connected or if they knew whoever shot them, said Cherokee County Sheriff Bill Blanton. "Yes, we have a serial killer," he said at a news conference in this rural community 50 miles south of Charlotte, N.C. So far, all investigators have to go on is a sketch of a suspect and a description of a possible getaway vehicle, though police would not say who provided that information. The latest victims were found in their family's small furniture and appliance shop near downtown Gaffney around closing time Thursday. Stephen Tyler, 45, was killed, and his 15-year-old daughter was shot and seriously injured. Tyler's wife, his older daughter and an employee found them in Tyler Home Center, County Coroner Dennis Fowler said South Carolina Serial Killer

| It is terrible they are living in fear and the lost lives, I know if I was there, my gun at home would be availbale too. Poor kids there, having to fear playing outside and 4th of July, to even be home inside now. Hope they stop this guy soon.

| I remember the terror Atlanta was in during the ATL Childmurders. We couldn't even go outside to play at school, because of the fear that something would happen. Even after school it was the same ... parents not allowing their children to go outside. I'm glad I'm not in SC. If I were... I'd belike you Peanut... I'd always have a loaded weapon within hands reach.
