Additional charges brought against suspects in rampage.The five men charged in a Dec. 18 crime spree that shocked residents of the small towns of Denmark and Norway (South Carolina, USA) made a second appearance in court Wednesday.
In a town so quiet you can hear birds flap their wings, where there's just one police car and no real traffic lights, it's hard to imagine the horror that was there.
"It's a surprising thing to me," said 83-year-old Matthew Higgins, who hangs his hat in Norway, but, in all his life, he's never heard of a crime spree coming to town.
"I really don't know exactly what happened, but it did happen," he said. "He got shot."
Huggins was talking about his brother-in-law, 81-year-old Vance Polite, who was home with his wife when police said five guys broke in.
"He was shot and pistol whipped, beat with a handgun and guns," said Norway Police Chief James Preacher, who believes the motive was money.
