“This is not who we are,” Chief Russell Roark said of the Sumter community. “Any behavior that jeopardizes the well-being, dignity and safety of this community – its citizens and its businesses – will be investigated to the fullest.”
Investigators say they are working to identify two men who they say may be involved.
