Five people – including an off-duty police officer – are dead after a shooting Thursday in eastern Raleigh, North Carolina, police said.
Two people were taken to the hospital, one of whom was a Raleigh K9 officer with non-life threatening injuries and was later released, authorities said. The other victim is in critical condition, Raleigh police spokesperson Lt. Jason Borneo said during a news conference Thursday night.
“Tonight, terror has reached our doorstep. The nightmare of every community has come to Raleigh,” Gov. Roy Cooper said at the news conference. “This is a senseless, horrific and infuriating act of violence that has been committed.”
The suspect was taken into custody shortly after 9:30 p.m, Borneo said. The suspect is a White male juvenile, police said, and has not identified further.
