<p>In the incident, one marshal and three local officers, who were part of the fugitive task force, lost their lives.&nbsp;Gov. Roy Cooper&nbsp;said that "two state Department of Adult Correction officers" had been killed.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, an additional task force member&nbsp;as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;three officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department&nbsp;also&nbsp;received injuries. In the incident, a total of eight law enforcement officers were shot by the accused.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The warrant&nbsp;was issued&nbsp;on the suspicion that the accused, who was a convicted felon, had a firearm. When the&nbsp;shootout&nbsp;broke out, the task force members also retaliated and killed the suspect in the front yard of the home.</p>

<p>One sergeant&nbsp;of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police was at the site of the&nbsp;shoot-out, however, he&nbsp;was not injured. He called for&nbsp;backup&nbsp;after which four responding officers from Charlotte-Mecklenburg police reached the site, Jennings said.</p>

<p>As per some claims made on social media, the shooter was wearing a sweatshirt with 'Olympian High School' written on it.</p>

<p>The police have said that the shooting was a result of a gang feud and have added that there was no longer&nbsp;a threat to people inside the mall or living in the neighbourhood.</p>

<p>"Shooting reportedly occurred during a dispute between 2 groups. There does not appear to be an active threat to the mall nor surrounding neighborhoods. Officers remain on the scene gathering evidence," the local police posted on X (formerly Twitter)</p>

Tragic shooting at Louisiana high school leaves student dead and another in custody

<p>In a tragic incident that unfolded on Saturday, three individuals were killed in a shooting at a Dollar General store located in Jacksonville, Florida. Authorities have termed the attack as being "racially motivated." The victims, all of whom were Black, were targeted by the assailant, who later killed himself with a gunshot,&nbsp;due to his "disgusting ideology of hate", according to Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters, media reports said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The white man in his early 20s, who has yet not been identified, carried out the attack armed with an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun. He was donning a tactical vest. His victims, two men and a woman, were shot before the assailant turned the gun on himself. The suspect's actions were explicitly driven by hatred towards Black individuals, Sheriff Waters stated.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The individual under suspicion is thought to have resided in Clay County along with his parents. Prior to the shooting, he reportedly sent a text message to his father, according to the sheriff's statement. "At 1:18 pm,&nbsp;he texted his father and told his father to check his computer," Waters said adding, "At 1:53 pm,&nbsp;the shooter's family members called the Clay County Sheriff's Office. By that time, he had already began shooting in Jacksonville."</p>

White gunman kills 3, himself in ‘racially motivated’ shooting at Florida store

<p>At least seven people were hospitalised after being injured following a mass shooting in Boston, Massachusetts, said the police on Saturday (August 26) morning. This comes as the city was reportedly in the midst of celebrating the Caribbean festival.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What happened?</strong></h2>

<p>According to local media reports citing officials, as many as seven people have been injured in Boston’s Dorchester during the celebrations. The shooting incident took place at Blue Hill Avenue and Talbot Avenue, said Officer Michael Torigian.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The police said that they were responding to reports of shots which came around 7:44 am (local time). Officers at the scene and the spokesperson said “multiple victims” have been transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Firearms have been recovered and arrests made,” said the police, in a brief statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Today’s mass shooting highlights the gun violence crisis we are facing in the city. This is a public health and public safety emergency,” said Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn, in a statement after the shooting incident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, “Boston Police are confiscating and recovering guns at an alarming rate throughout the neighborhood. Now is the time to come together and develop a gun violence strategy in Boston.”&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Celebrations marked by violence</strong></h2>

<p>A report by CNN, citing a local traffic advisory said the city’s annual Caribbean carnival was expected to take place with two separate parades on Saturday in the area where the incident was reported. &nbsp;</p>

<p>According to local media reports the Caribbean Festival is still going on. This comes after Flynn said that the “parade should be canceled” due to the shooting incident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One person was killed during last year’s Caribbean festival, as per media reports. A report by the Boston Herald also noted there is a history of violent incidents that take place around Caribbean festivals in Boston and Cambridge.&nbsp;</p>

According to local media reports citing officials, as many as seven people have been injured in Boston’s Dorchester during the celebrations. The shooting incident took place at Blue Hill Avenue and Talbot Avenue, said Officer Michael Torigian. The police said that they were responding to reports of shots which came around 7:44 am (local time). Officers at the scene and the spokesperson said “multiple victims” have been transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. “Firearms have been recovered and arrests made,” said the police, in a brief statement. “Today’s mass shooting highlights the gun violence crisis we are facing in the city. This is a public health and public safety emergency,” said Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn, in a statement after the shooting incident. He added, “Boston Police are confiscating and recovering guns at an alarming rate throughout the neighborhood. Now is the time to come together and develop a gun violence strategy in Boston.” Celebrations marked by violence A report by CNN, citing a local traffic advisory said the city’s annual Caribbean carnival was expected to take place with two separate parades on Saturday in the area where the incident was reported. According to local media reports the Caribbean Festival is still going on. This comes after Flynn said that the “parade should be canceled” due to the shooting incident.

US: At least 7 people injured in Boston mass shooting; firearms seized, arrests made, say cops

<p>A shooting during a community outreach event late Friday evening in Seattle's Rainier Beach neighbourhood left five people wounded, one of them critically, media outlets reported quoting Police Chief Adrian Diaz.&nbsp;The shooting took place at a pop-up event that is held every Friday to provide food and services to those in need, said Diaz during a news conference around 10:30 pm.</p>

<p>Of the five injured individuals, four, all in their 20s, were taken to Harborview Medical Center.</p>

<p>One man is in critical condition, while two other men and a woman had non-life-threatening injuries, a hospital spokesperson reportedly said. The fifth victim, a man in his 30s, received treatment at the scene of the shooting itself.</p>

<h2><strong>Suspects at large</strong></h2>

<p>The police are actively searching for at least two suspects involved in the shooting. However, as of now, it remains unclear whether the victims were specifically targeted, and the events leading up to the shooting are yet to be determined.</p>

<p>The shooting took place at the Marie Reed Community Center along 18th Street at approximately 8:20 pm. The incident appears unrelated to the ongoing soccer game that was taking place at the time, as per the police.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Witnesses' accounts</strong></h2>

<p>Witnesses, who were playing soccer on the field, told News4 media outlet that they saw two men sitting under a tree overlooking the field just before the gunshot.</p>

<p>At least 20 people were shot, one fatally, reported the local media citing the officials as police are in the midst of investigating an overnight shooting in the US state of Illinois southwest suburban Willowbrook, on Sunday (June 18).&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What do we know about the incident</strong>?</h2>

<p>Witnesses have said over 200 teens and young adults were gathered for a Juneteenth celebration when over two dozen shots were fired into the crowd. The incident took place at the intersection of Honeysuckle Rose Lane and Route 83 (Kingery Highway) in DuPage County.</p>

<p>As of Sunday, at least 20 people had been shot, one fatally, said DuPage County Deputy Sheriff Eric Swanson told reporters. As per reports, victims were taken to the nearby hospitals in DuPage, Cook and Will counties.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fire officials had earlier said that there are five gunshot victims and at least 10 people have been shot and injured out of which two of them are in critical condition. According to Battalion Chief Joe Ostrander with the Tri-State Fire Protection District the shooting took place at around 12:30 am (local time), reported the local media.&nbsp;At least 12 ambulances responded to the scene,&nbsp;Ostrander added.</p>

Denver mass shooting injures 9 as crowd gathers to celebrate Nuggets' NBA win

<p>The officials,&nbsp;on Monday (May 8), said that they&nbsp;have arrested a 58-year-old man in Southwest Louisiana, United States after he allegedly shot at a group of children playing hide-and-seek, one of whom was injured. According to the local sheriff’s office, the accused is facing aggravated assault and battery charges.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident took place in a small town named Starks, in the state of Louisiana which borders Texas, early Sunday. The man, later identified as David V. Doyle, is currently in the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center on Tuesday morning. The 14-year-old girl, as per the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office, suffered a gunshot wound to the back of the head and was taken to the hospital.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As of Monday, the victim’s injuries were not considered as life-threatening. A group of juveniles “were playing hide and seek in the area and were hiding on the neighbour’s property,” said the officials, when Doyle allegedly fired his weapon. The accused told the detectives that “he observed shadows outside his home, at which time he went inside and retrieved his firearm.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Subsequently, “he went back outside and observed people running away from his property, at which time he began shooting at them and unknowingly hit the girl,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement. According to the officials, Doyle was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, and illegal discharge of a firearm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This comes as the US has faced a number of shooting incidents which have killed several and injured many over seemingly trivial circumstances.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Two high school cheerleaders who approached the wrong car in a Texas parking lot, last month, were shot at, seriously injuring one of them.

The officials, on Monday (May 8), said that they have arrested a 58-year-old man in Southwest Louisiana, United States after he allegedly shot at a group of children playing hide-and-seek, one of whom was injured.

The officials, on Monday (May 8), said that they have arrested a 58-year-old man in Southwest Louisiana, United States after he allegedly shot at a group of children playing hide-and-seek, one of whom was injured. According to the local sheriff’s office, the accused is facing aggravated assault and battery charges. The incident took place in a small town named Starks, in the state of Louisiana which borders Texas, early Sunday. The man, later identified as David V. Doyle, is currently in the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center on Tuesday morning. The 14-year-old girl, as per the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office, suffered a gunshot wound to the back of the head and was taken to the hospital. As of Monday, the victim’s injuries were not considered as life-threatening. A group of juveniles “were playing hide and seek in the area and were hiding on the neighbour’s property,” said the officials, when Doyle allegedly fired his weapon. The accused told the detectives that “he observed shadows outside his home, at which time he went inside and retrieved his firearm.” Subsequently, “he went back outside and observed people running away from his property, at which time he began shooting at them and unknowingly hit the girl,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement. According to the officials, Doyle was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, and illegal discharge of a firearm. This comes as the US has faced a number of shooting incidents which have killed several and injured many over seemingly trivial circumstances. Two high school cheerleaders who approached the wrong car in a Texas parking lot, last month, were shot at, seriously injuring one of them. On the same day, April 18, a six-year-old girl and her father in North Carolina were shot after their basketball reportedly rolled into the alleged shooter’s yard. A 20-year-old woman, Kaylin Gillis was shot and killed on April 15 when she and her friends mistakenly drove up the wrong driveway in New York when the homeowner allegedly opened fire. Last month, an 84-year-old man allegedly shot a Black teenager, Ralph Yarl, who mistakenly came to his door, when he was supposed to pick up his younger brothers.

US man arrested for allegedly shooting a 14-year-old girl playing hide and seek

<p>At least eight people were killed and seven others were injured in a shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets mall in Allen. Allen police chief Brian Harvey said that the gunman, who authorities believed acted alone, was killed by a police officer after he began firing outside the mall, the news agency Reuters reported. "At 3.36, our officer was at Allen Premium Outlets on an unrelated call. He heard gunshots, located the gunshots, located the shooter, neutralised the shooter and neutralised the threat.

<p>Earlier, it was reported that nine people were shot but police were not able to confirm how many people were killed in the incident.

USA: Teenager girl killed, five injured in shooting at party near college in California

<p>A recent shooting incident that occurred in South Florida, United States, and left one boy dead and another man wounded was&nbsp;called a “random act” by sheriff’s officials, on Friday (May 5), as they continue to investigate what led to the shooting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Broward County Sheriff’s officials, a gunman fatally shot a 12-year-old boy and wounded a man before turning the gun on himself inside a South Florida convenience store reported the Associated Press.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Detectives do not believe there is any connection between the gunman and the victims; this does appear to be a random act,” said sheriff’s spokesman Carey Codd at a press conference on Friday. He added, “There does not appear to be a connection between the two victims.” However, further investigation into the incident is underway.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report citing the county’s sheriff’s deputies, said a 29-year-old later identified as Darren Rosenthal, shot a man sitting in his car outside a 7-Eleven in South Florida’s Dania Beach. The police received an alert about the shooting at around 11:00 pm (local time), on Thursday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Subsequently, Rosenthal reportedly went inside the suburban Fort Lauderdale store and killed the 12-year-old boy before killing himself. The names of the 12-year-old boy killed and the man injured have not been released. Meanwhile, a store worker Maximo Limas said Rosenthal gave no warning before he started shooting, as per AP.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The man wounded was “chilling in his car, minding his business,” before Rosenthal allegedly shot him in the neck, said Limas, as quoted by the US media reports. He added, “He killed a…boy and he just killed himself”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“He shot a customer (and) the kid just wanted to buy ice cream. That's all he was doing,” said Limas. According to the officials, the boy died on the scene. Media reports citing Miami-Dade County court records have reported that the perpetrator had several misdemeanour drugs and alcohol-related arrests about eight years ago. &nbsp;</p>

US: ‘Random’ shooting killed 12-year-old boy at Florida store, left man injured, say cops

<p>At least four people were killed in a small city in rural south Georgia, United States, on Thursday (May 4) after a gunman shot&nbsp;a fast food worker and&nbsp;two of its&nbsp;relatives, before taking his own life.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Colquitt County Coroner C. Verlyn Brock told The Associated Press, that the shooter killed his&nbsp;mother and grandmother at two neighbouring homes and killed a woman at a McDonald’s restaurant in downtown Moultrie.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The 26-year-old gunman&nbsp;shot dead his&nbsp;50-year-old mother and 74-year-old grandmother at two neighbouring homes and killed a woman, aged 41,&nbsp;Brock told AP. He also said that all&nbsp;three women appeared to have been shot multiple times.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The shooter was later identified as&nbsp;Kentavious White who&nbsp;fatally shot his&nbsp;manager&nbsp;identified as 41-year-old Amia Smith, said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The&nbsp;security camera footage from McDonald’s in Moultrie showed White, shooting the store manager after getting her to come to the door Thursday morning.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
They also found two women related to White had been shot at neighbouring homes which were less than 3.2 kilometres away, said the GBI, in a statement on Thursday evening, adding that&nbsp;one of the women passed away&nbsp;after being taken to a hospital.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Previously, the GBI&nbsp;said in a statement only that there had been “multiple fatalities” at different crime scenes in the area, reported the AP. The state's&nbsp;leading law enforcement agency also said&nbsp;Moultrie Police Department requested its assistance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An eyewitness&nbsp;Sabrina Holweger, as per AP, said that&nbsp;police blocked off a main street that runs in front of the McDonald’s. According to&nbsp;Holweger, the woman who died at the restaurant was the early morning manager and that the shooter was an employee.<br />
<br />
Brock told CBS News the shooter shot his mother and grandmother at their homes. The media report also said that his mother&nbsp;died at the scene, but the grandmother, who lived next door to her daughter, was taken to the hospital and passed away.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In a statement,&nbsp;George Suarez, owner and operator of the McDonald’s in Moultrie, said that the restaurant will be closed until further notice. "We are devastated by the loss of our beloved restaurant manager, and our hearts go out to all the victims of this senseless act of violence," said Suarez.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The city where the incident occurred,&nbsp;Moultrie, is approximately three hours south of the state capital city of&nbsp;Atlanta, where at least&nbsp;one person was killed and&nbsp;four others were injured after a shooting incident&nbsp;in the waiting room of a medical facility.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At least one person has been killed and&nbsp;four&nbsp;others were injured after a shooting incident in the US state of Georgia's capital city of Atlanta, on Wednesday (May 3), said the&nbsp;Atlanta Police Department. The man&nbsp;accused of opening fire in the waiting room of a&nbsp;medical facility in Atlanta on Wednesday, killing a woman and wounding four others, was arrested in a neighbouring county after hours of&nbsp;manhunt, police said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Atlanta police announced the arrest of suspect Deion Patterson, 24, at around 8 p.m., almost eight hours after the deadly shooting shortly after noon.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The police department had earlier issued a "shelter in place" alert and said they are investigating an active shooter in the Midtown Atlanta's&nbsp;Northside Hospital Medical, area of 1110 W Peachtree St NW.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;shelter-in-place order has since&nbsp;been lifted in Midtown Atlanta, said police officials.<br />
<br />
Police officers clustered outside the front entrance of the Northside Medical building&nbsp;while multiple helicopters hovered overhead.<br />
<br />
"Three have been transported to the hospital for treatment and a fourth has been pronounced deceased on scene," said local police officials, adding that they have not&nbsp;heard any additional shots.<br />
<br />
The police department had&nbsp;released images of the suspect and said, "Based&nbsp;on our preliminary investigation, these are photos believed to be of the active shooter."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The suspect,&nbsp;later&nbsp;identified as&nbsp;Deion Patterson (24), was arrested after an hours-long manhunt, "The suspect is in custody,"&nbsp;said the APD, without giving any further details.<br />
<br />
According to an alert, he was&nbsp;described as&nbsp;a Black male wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, black pants and brown shoes.&nbsp;</p>

At least one person has been killed and four others were injured after a shooting incident in the US state of Georgia's capital city of Atlanta, on Wednesday (May 3), said the Atlanta Police Department. The man accused of opening fire in the waiting room of a medical facility in Atlanta on Wednesday, killing a woman and wounding four others, was arrested in a neighbouring county after hours of manhunt, police said. Atlanta police announced the arrest of suspect Deion Patterson, 24, at around 8 p.m., almost eight hours after the deadly shooting shortly after noon. The police department had earlier issued a "shelter in place" alert and said they are investigating an active shooter in the Midtown Atlanta's Northside Hospital Medical, area of 1110 W Peachtree St NW. The shelter-in-place order has since been lifted in Midtown Atlanta, said police officials. Police officers clustered outside the front entrance of the Northside Medical building while multiple helicopters hovered overhead. "Three have been transported to the hospital for treatment and a fourth has been pronounced deceased on scene," said local police officials, adding that they have not heard any additional shots. The police department had released images of the suspect and said, "Based on our preliminary investigation, these are photos believed to be of the active shooter." The suspect, later identified as Deion Patterson (24), was arrested after an hours-long manhunt, "The suspect is in custody," said the APD, without giving any further details. According to an alert, he was described as a Black male wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, black pants and brown shoes.

Based on the initial investigation, police have said that the shooting occurred after a man became enraged during a trip to the medical facility. According to Grady Memorial Hospital, among those injured, three were in critical condition and one was stable, reported CBS News. According to Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum, there were five victims in total all of whom were women aged between 25 to 71. One woman, aged 39, died from her injuries. However, no other information was released about the victims. Atlanta Public Schools said several schools in the area would operate on external lockdown for the rest of the day "out of an abundance of caution." Meanwhile, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said that he is in "close contact" with the APD and that those in the area should "shelter in place". Police cordoned blocks of streets in Midtown, impeding the flow of traffic in the district. According to media reports, an hour after the gunfire, a SWAT team gathered near the High Art Museum, which is around one kilometre away from the shooting scene. Meanwhile, the Northside Hospital also took to Twitter and said they are "cooperating with law enforcement" after the shooting and urged everyone to "shelter in place and follow instructions from law enforcement on the scene."
