Two Men on Shooting Rampage Across Kings Mountain
Fred Jackson and Millen/Mullen, local troublemakers, launched a shooting spree in Kings Mountain and Cleveland County areas on a May night. Jackson's wife was shot in the hip, Hord suffered minor injuries, and Millen sustained a broken arm as the pair rammed a taxi with Don Brackett. Authorities chased them across fields and onto a freight train before a crash halted the chase, with Brackett warning more victims could follow if stopped.
