GAFFNEY, S.C. -- The two people with the suspected South Carolina serial killer when he was shot to death by police were siblings who met him two weeks ago and didn't know about his killing spree, police said Tuesday.
The brother and sister met the suspected killer Patrick Burris, 41, at a hotel and then were at a vacant house in Gastonia, N.C, owned by one of their parents, when police were called to investigate a burglary. When authorities arrived, Burris pulled a gun and officers shot him.
