Rock Hill Mayor John Gettys was close to Dr. Robert Lesslie and his family. Gettys said Thursday that it’s critical that the community takes a step back and mourns the loss.
“This isn’t going to be OK tomorrow,” Gettys said. “It’s going to take some time, and we’ve got to accept that it’s gonna take some time.”
