Three people were killed and at least eight others injured when a gunman on a boat pulled up to a waterfront bar in North Carolina Saturday night and opened fire, officials said.
A suspect is in custody in relation to the shooting at American Fish Company in Southport, city public information officer ChyAnn Ketchum said in a news release. The extent of the injuries is unknown.
The shooting adds to the growing list of bars, restaurants, shopping centers, schools and other venues in the US generally thought of as safe that have experienced gun violence. There have been at least 320 mass shootings with at least four people shot, not including the shooter in the US so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

(212 posts)Social media posts have identified the alleged shooter as Nigel Edge, a local resident.
The shooters Facebook page says he has no political party affiliation. He is a white male registered to vote in Brunswick County, North Carolina.
Some witnesses also claimed to have seen a dog onboard the boat which perfectly matches a description of the dog on the shooters facebook page.

(4,489 posts)The book was authored under his given name. It is reported that he later changed his given name to Nigel Edge. The book he authored reads that, while serving in Iraq, he received four gunshot wounds, one to his head. Here is the link to the Amazon webpage about his book:
