The suspect is a white juvenile male and has been arrested, police in North Carolina said Thursday night.
by a shooter who opened fire along a walking trail in North Carolina’s capital city on Thursday and eluded police for hours before he was cornered in a home and arrested, police said.
Among those slain was an off-duty police officer, authorities said. Two other people, including another police officer, were taken to hospitals. The officer was later released, but the other survivor remained in critical condition. “We must stop this mindless violence in America, we must address gun violence,” the mayor said. “We have much to do, and tonight we have much to mourn.”
The family closed all of their window blinds, locked the doors and congregated in an upstairs hallway together, said Medina, who works as a communications vice president at a think tank. The family listened to the police scanner and watched local news before going back downstairs once the danger seemed to have moved further away from their home.
Medina said she often takes her kids on bike rides along the greenway during the day, but typically brings pepper spray along just in case.The Raleigh shooting was the latest in a violent week across the country. Five people were killed Sunday in a shooting at a home in Inman, South Carolina. On Wednesday night two police officers were fatally shot in Connecticut after apparently being drawn into an ambush by an emergency call about possible domestic violence.
