The 15-year-old suspect accused of gunning down seven people — killing five of them — in North Carolina’s capital city Thursday evening was taken into custody with life threatening injuries, according to authorities.
It’s not yet clear if the suspect’s wounds were self-inflicted. He remained hospitalized Friday morning at WakeMed hospital in Raleigh, the city’s Chief of Police Estella Patterson said.
The violence started on Thursday around 5 p.m. in the neighborhood of Hedingham, and then continued along the Neuse River Greenway, where most of the victims were shot. In total, the crime scene spanned about two miles.
