US: Rampaging
gunman shoots several people dead in Raleigh North Carolina
Raleigh, N.C. — Raleigh police are searching for a gunman who shot
and killed a woman at Cameron Village on Monday morning. Police
responded to another possible shooting several hours later near
Oberlin and Wade avenues. They would not say if the two shootings
were related.
Police released a picture of a possible suspect in the Cameron
Village shooting, who appears to be in his early 40s. Police said
he might be wearing khaki pants and a dark-colored shirt and is
about 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs 220 pounds. His name was
not released.
The shooting happened about 9:30 a.m. in the 400 block of Daniels
Street. The victim's name was not released. Her body lay in the
parking lot, surrounded by police tape.
John Floyd was having breakfast outside when he heard the
shooting.
"Suddenly, I heard like six or seven what I thought were shots,
and I thought, ‘Oh, must be construction noise,’" he said.
Police say the gunman then ran past Pier One and Ann Taylor
stores. Angel Sams, who lives in the area, said she may have seen
the man.
"I was walking the dog, and I noticed a guy. He just looked
awkward. He was half running, half walking down the street, and he
was wearing khaki shorts, a blue shirt," Sams said. "He looked
like he was in a hurry, but it was weird. And then, probably 5, 10
minutes later, one of our neighbors was in Cameron Village when
the shooting happened and told us about it and told us what he was
wearing. It was the exact description of this guy."
A Cameron Village manager said there are no security cameras in
the area. Fourteen Raleigh schools were temporarily locked down as
a precaution as police search for the shooter. The lockdowns were
lifted by 2:15 p.m.
Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said in a statement that
officers would be visible in areas surrounding the four schools
near Cameron Village when students are released for the day.
"The increased presence relates to both follow-up work taking
place after this morning's shooting incident and to being
available while parents and students are leaving for home,"
Sughrue said. "There have been no indications of any links between
the incidents and schools."
North Carolina State University was not locked down, school
officials said, because police "determined (the shooter) was not a
threat to campus." However, Wolfline bus service to Cameron
Village has been canceled temporarily.
