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 suspect was detained after being cornered by police at a nearby residence and is in critical condition from injuries that were sustained during the incident.[2][3][4]

Shooting

The shooting 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, the gunman 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.[5] The gunman proceeded through Hedingham, shooting to death an off-duty police officer on the 6000 block of Osprey Drive.[2] He then ran to the nearby Neuse River Trail, where he shot another four people, two of them fatally.[6] A Raleigh Police Department officer responding to the scene was shot in the leg and sustained non-life-threatening injuries.[7]

In total, five people were killed, and two others were wounded.[1] There were four separate crime scenes spanning 2 miles (3.2 km).[8] 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.[7] While the gunman was at large, local residents were advised by law enforcement to stay indoors at 6:49.[7][9][10]

A police dog eventually tracked the suspect to a shed.[6] At around 8:00 p.m., authorities announced that a suspect had been contained at a residence in the area.[7] By 9:37 p.m., the suspect was taken into custody after a standoff with police. He was critically injured, and transported to WakeMed to be treated.[11] It is unclear how the suspect became injured or what his exact injuries are.[12] He is reportedly still in a "grave" condition.[13]

Investigation

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Raleigh Police Department and the ATF, are involved with the investigation.[9] Governor Roy Cooper deployed state resources to assist investigators at the crime scenes.[2] A "five-day report" including a detailed outline of the incident will be filed to the Raleigh city manager on October 20.[14]

Reactions

Two commemorative vigils were held in the Hedingham area on October 15.[15] U.S. President Joe Biden said he and his wife Jill were grieving with the victims' families.[16] Governor Roy Cooper said that the pain the victims' families were experiencing was unimaginable and that changes must be made to prevent similar tragedies.[17] He later announced that flags would be flown at half-staff to honor the victims.[7] 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."[17] Additionally, several other senators and representatives spoke about the shooting.[16]
