On October 13, 2022, a mass shooting occurred in the Hedingham neighborhood of Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. Five people were killed, and two others were injured.[1] The accused, a male juvenile named Austin Thompson,[2] was detained after being cornered by police at a nearby residence and was in critical condition from a gunshot wound to the head sustained during the incident.[3][4][5] Thompson survived his head injury and has begun to receive physical rehabilitation.[6] He was transferred from a hospital to the medical unit of a juvenile correctional facility.[7]
Shootings
The shootings began in a residential area near the Neuse River Trail greenway area shortly after 5:00 p.m. on October 13, 2022.[1] According to police, a gunman, armed with a shotgun, handgun, and hunting knife, first killed a relative at home, then went out into the street, where he fatally shot a woman on her porch and critically wounded another woman on the driveway of the same house.[8][9] The gunman proceeded through Hedingham, shooting to death an off-duty police officer on the 6000 block of Osprey Drive.[3] He then ran to the nearby Neuse River Trail, where he fatally shot a woman jogging and another woman walking her dog.[10]
Five people were killed, and two others were wounded.[1] There were four separate crime scenes spanning 2 miles (3.2 km).[11] Police received the first 9-1-1 call about the shooting at 5:13. At 5:55, the Raleigh Police Department announced on Twitter that it was on the scene of an active shooter situation in the area.[12] While the gunman was at large, local residents were advised by law enforcement to stay indoors at 6:49.[12][13][14]
A police dog eventually tracked the accused to a wooded area with two barn-like buildings.[10] When the police arrived at 6:45 p.m., the gunman fired multiple times at them, injuring an officer. Several officers returned fire, shooting an estimated 23 rounds at the building. After setting a perimeter around the structure, officers commanded the gunman to surrender his weapons and come out with his hands up. At 9:34 p.m., Selective Enforcement Unit officers breached the building and found Thompson inside. Thompson suffered a gunshot wound and was transported to WakeMed to be treated.[9][15]
Accused
The suspect was identified as 15-year-old Austin Thompson, who lived with his father and brother at Hedingham. He was a sophomore at Knightdale High School.[16] The Wake County District Attorney announced that there were plans to charge Thompson as an adult.[12] Immediately after the shooting, Thompson was reported as in a "grave" condition; he was moved to a rehab facility in November for additional treatment after being charged with the five killings on November 11.[2][17]
Investigation
Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Raleigh Police Department and the ATF, are involved with the investigation.[13] Governor Roy Cooper deployed state resources to assist investigators at the crime scenes.[3] A "five-day report," including a detailed outline of the incident, was filed to the Raleigh city manager on October 20.[18][19]
Reactions
Two commemorative vigils were held in the Hedingham area on October 15.[20] U.S. President Joe Biden said he and his wife Jill were grieving with the victims' families.[21] Governor Roy Cooper said that the pain the victims' families were experiencing was unimaginable and that changes must be made to prevent similar tragedies.[22] He later announced that flags would be flown at half-staff to honor the victims.[12] Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin said the residents of Raleigh needed to come together, adding, "We need to support those in our community who have suffered a terrible loss, a loss of a loved one."[22] Additionally, several other senators and representatives spoke about the shooting.[21]
