According to the report, a suspect has been charged after a gunman opened fire from a boat into a waterfront bar in North Carolina, killing three people and wounding at least five others. Authorities provided more information on the alleged gunman, Nigel Max Edge, saying the shooting was "highly premeditated."This was not random. It was highly premeditated," Police Chief Todd Coring said at a press briefing Sunday. Edge, an Oak Island resident and military veteran, has not yet entered a plea. He appeared for his first court hearing Monday afternoon, logging in by video at 2 p.m. from the neighboring sheriff’s office jail. A judge denied bond, citing him as both a flight risk and a danger to the community. Edge is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 13 for a probable cause hearing. He requested a public defender. Prosecutors said in court that Edge used a .300 Blackout Sig Sauer rifle outfitted with a suppressor and scope, and also had a .380 handgun tucked in his waistband when he was arrested. Some of the rifle ammunition was tipped for maximum ballistic impact, authorities noted.
The report also stated that Southport's public information officer previously said a boat with a single occupant on the Cape Fear River paused briefly in front of the bar at around 9:30 p.m. and opened fire, killing three patrons and injuring multiple others. The boat then sped off in the direction of the Intracoastal Waterway towards neighboring Oak Island. The U.S. Coast Guard observed a single individual matching the description of the shooter loading their boat at a public ramp in Oak Island shortly after 10 p.m. The Coast Guard crew detained the person, who was turned over to Southport police for questioning, officials said.
There seem to be many soldiers who have PTSD, are angry, afraid, and with so many guns, seem to be a part of the problem. Mental. The killer was a retired soldier, a veteran in handling a gun. What a pity for those who enjoyed themselves in the waterfront bar only to die so suddenly. What a cruel and barbaric act by the killer. He will rot in jail.
