According to Army and law enforcement authorities, an Army civilian employee killed a U.S. Army Central soldier and three children at his ex-wife’s house in Sumter, South Carolina, late Tuesday night.
Following the murders, the attacker, Charles Slacks Jr., a former Army soldier, committed suicide, according to Sumter Police Chief Russell Roark at a news conference on Wednesday.
Sgt. Maj. Aletha Holliday, the mother of the kids, escaped the assault unharmed, according to Roark.
Although they cautioned that the investigation is still in its early phases, authorities classified the shooting as “domestic-related.” The Post and Courier newspaper in Columbia claimed that Slacks and Holliday got divorced on March 3. Slacks entered with a key; according to the publication, he and Holliday shared ownership of the house.
