The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation said in a press release on Wednesday that officers responded to a call just before 8am ET (12pm GMT). The names of the victims and the suspected shooter have not been released. NBC News reported that Sheriff Tony Durden told reporters that all of those involved are adults and part of the same family.
“Deputies arriving on scene found multiple people who had been shot. One person was transported to Duke University Hospital with a gunshot wound, and there are multiple other fatalities,” the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation said.
“SBI Crime scene investigators are on scene processing evidence and conducting interviews. There is NO THREAT to the general public.”
Durden added that there is no evidence that the family had previously reached out to the sheriff’s office. Further details about the incident are still emerging.
