COLUMBIA, S.C. — A teen accused of killing his family spent the hours after the slayings riding four-wheelers with a friend and buying steaks for dinner, the friend’s grandmother said Tuesday.

Nathan Dickson, who is accused of shooting his father, stepmother, stepsister and brother Saturday morning, was arrested that evening at friend Brantley Creel’s home.

“I thought my heart was going to stop beating,” said Creel’s grandmother, Sybil Philyaw, who saw the arrest.

The teens had spent the day together and had gone to get supplies for a cookout when authorities arrived on Philyaw’s doorstep, she said.

Authorities have not offered a motive for the killings.
