Three dead, including suspected shooter, in North Carolina family home shooting
One person was wounded and all four victims were adult family members, authorities said; no ongoing threat to the public.
Three people were killed and another was wounded in a shooting at a family home in Prospect Hill, North Carolina, on Wednesday morning, according to local authorities.
Deputies from the Caswell County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call for service shortly before 8am at a property on Brooks Road, where they found multiple gunshot victims. The suspected shooter was also found dead at the scene, some reports said, bringing the total fatalities to three. All four individuals involved were adult members of the same family, according to a news report.
One victim was transported to Duke University Hospital with a gunshot wound; their condition has not been disclosed. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation dispatched crime scene investigators to process evidence and conduct interviews, while the sheriff’s office, assisted by the State Highway Patrol and other agencies, secured the scene.
Authorities have not released the identities of the victims or the suspected shooter, pending notification of next of kin. The motive for the shooting remains unknown, and officials said there is no ongoing threat to the public, describing the incident as confined to the residence. Prospect Hill is a small community in Caswell County, roughly an hour’s drive from the state capital Raleigh.
The Caswell County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation, with the SBI providing support. No further details were immediately available.
