North Carolina Woman Commits Double Homicide

Local news reports

A North Carolina woman has been charged in the shooting death of her husband and his son in South Carolina.

Horry County police have charged 40-year-old Sandy Lee Locklear of Tabor City, N.C., with two counts of murder, burglary and filing a false police report.

Locklear is accused of shooting and killing her 66-year-old husband, Amos Hatfield, and his son, 40-year-old Thomas Howard Hatfield, at their home in Loris early Sunday.

Officials say Amos Hatfield had bought the home for his wife in Tabor City in June, while he lived with his son in Loris.
Retribution for domestic abuse is the first thing that comes to my mind, but really it could be anything. Heck, she could have been the abuser.

One thing for sure is, Sandy was one of the adherents of that school of thought which says "the gun is the answer."

  3. I did not know Sandy Locklear, but I did know both Amos and Thomas. There was never a more likeable person. He was always trying to help someone who was in need. He did not deserve to be shot and killed like this. Hope she gets the max. sentance she can get.

  5. If she is innocent what connection did she have with those two black men? I have heard one of them turned himself in and did they find the other one? So another question has to be asked if it was abuse where do the two young men come into play?
