DOBSON, N.C. - A South Carolina man suspected of killing two people in North Carolina and one in his home state was sought Monday and thought to be in Georgia. <br>
<br>
Two people were shot shortly after midnight Monday morning during an apparent robbery at a convenience store near Interstate 77 near Dobson, about 15 miles south of the Virginia border northwest of Winston-Salem. <br>
<br>
Afterward, the suspect called news outlets in South Carolina and threatened to do more violence, Surry County Sheriff Connie Watson said. <br>
<br>
Quincy Allen, 22, was charged Monday with the shootings at a Citgo service station. The victims were store clerk Richard Hawks, 53, of Low Gap and customer Robert Shane Roush, 29, of Lancaster, Ohio. <br>
<br>
``It appears he shot the clerk first without any confrontation,'' Watson said. ``Then he shot the patron, who had walked up to the cash register.'' <br>
<br>
Allen was already being sought by South Carolina authorities, who charged him with fatally shooting Jedediah Harr last Thursday in Columbia, S.C. <br>
<br>
That shooting took place after Allen got into an argument with a passenger in Harr's car, said Lt. Joseph Pellicci of the Richland County Sheriff's Department in South Carolina. <br>
<br>
Police think Allen drove Roush's red 2002 Ford Explorer with Ohio tags and possibly headed south on I-77 through North Carolina. <br>
<br>
Pellicci said he was thought to be in the Atlanta area Monday night. <br>
<br>
Watson urged members of the public to be careful if they meet up with Allen, who is black, about 6-feet-tall and 160 pounds, and was believed to be armed with a shotgun. <br>
<br>
``This individual apparently had in mind what he was going to do,'' he said. ``It appears he did not give these two individuals a chance at all."
