RALEIGH, N.C. — Less than a day after a shooting left five people dead, including an off-duty police officer, and two people injured, a 15-year-old suspect was in custody and the city was reeling from the losses.
The Wake County District Attorney’s Office was taking steps toward charging the teen as an adult, officials said Friday.
Earlier Friday, Raleigh Police Chief Estella Patterson named the five victims at a press conference: Raleigh Police Officer Gabriel Torres, 29; Nicole Conners, 53; Susan Karnatz, 49; Mary Marshall, 34; and James Thompson, 16.
