A 15-year-old will be charged as an adult for allegedly carrying out a mass shooting that left five people dead Thursday in Raleigh, North Carolina, prosecutors said, as calls to curb gun violence are renewed once again in the US
The suspect, identified by police as a White male juvenile, was taken into custody by law enforcement after an hours-long manhunt Thursday. The sprawling crime scene of more than two miles across the Raleigh neighborhood of Hedingham also left two people wounded in the attack, officials said. One of the five victims killed was off-duty police officer Gabriel Torres, 29, who shot while on his way to work.
The pair had seen each other the day of the shooting while walking their dogs. Marshall, another victim who was killed, was also walking her dog when she heard gunshots ring out, her sister Meaghan McCrickard told CNN. After hearing the shots, Marshall called her fiancé to tell him about the firing and said she was heading back to the house, McCrickard said. “She was my hero despite being my younger sister,” McCrickard added. The sisters were three years apart.
