This came just hours after a shooting at a seaside town called Southport in North Carolina that left three people dead and five others injured. That was a “highly premeditated” attack, police said on Sunday. Police chief Todd Coring said at a press conference that a man named Nigel Edge of Oak Island has been arrested for opening fire from a boat into a crowd gathered at American Fish Company in Southport.
The shooting, which erupted about 9:30 p.m. Saturday, took place along a popular stretch of bars and restaurants in the historic port town. Investigators said Edge piloted a small boat close to shore, stopped briefly, fired, and then sped away. Officials did not immediately release the names of those killed or provide information on the conditions of those who were wounded.
