A North Carolina home shooting left three family members dead, including the suspected gunman, and another hospitalised. Authorities confirm it was an isolated incident with no ongoing public threat.
Three people, including the suspected gunman, were killed and another person was injured in a shooting at a home in North Carolina on Wednesday (Aug 5), authorities said. According to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), deputies from the Caswell County Sheriff's Office responded to a call for service shortly before 8 am local time at a residence on Brooks Road in Prospect Hill.
When deputies arrived, they found multiple people with gunshot wounds. One injured person was taken to the hospital, although officials have not disclosed their condition. Authorities have not released the identities of the victims or the suspect.
