A North Carolina power substation was damaged by gunfire early Tuesday in the third known power substation shooting in the state since early December.
Crews responded to an alarm at the substation in the city of Thomasville, southwest of Greensboro, where they discovered the substation transformer was struck by an "apparent gunshot," the electricity provider EnergyUnited said in a statement.
The utility said no customers experienced a power outage as a result.
