Law enforcement personnel gather at a command post in eastern Wake County, N.C., on Thursday.RALEIGH, N.C. — A North Carolina mayor announced that five people, including a police officer, were killed in a shooting in a residential area Thursday.
“State and local officers are on the ground and working to stop the shooter and keep people safe,” Gov. Roy Cooper tweeted shortly before 7 p.m. The Raleigh Police Department said it was “on the scene of an active shooting” in a statement via Twitter, and advised residents in multiple neighborhoods to stay indoors.
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 farther away from their home.
