Tragedy struck North Carolina when Nigel Edge opened fire and left three people dead and eight others injured. The incident has shocked the community raising urgent questions about public safety and gun violence.
According to authorities, after the shooting, Edge attempted to flee the scene by escaping in a boat, and now, he’s been arrested and charged!
Here’s what happened … the suspect sailed up the Cape Fear river to the front of the American Fish Company saloon in Southport, North Carolina at about 9:30 PM ET Saturday, according to Southport spokesperson ChyAnn Ketchum.
Ketchum says the assailant stopped the boat to open fire on the patrons in an outdoor bar area, killing 3 people and injuring 8 others.
The shooter then sailed away, heading up the Intercoastal Waterway toward Oak Island, a North Carolina beach town, Ketchum said.
