Suspect charged in NC mass shooting that killed 3, injured at least 8 others
SOUTHPORT, North Carolina - Police in North Carolina have charged a suspect in connection with a mass shooting that killed three and left at least eight others injured at a riverside bar near the coast on Saturday, Sept. 27.
The shooting at American Fish Company in Southport, North Carolina occurred around 9:30 pm on Sept. 27 when a gunman traveling in a boat along the Cape Fear River pulled up to the restaurant's dock and fired into a crowd. The boat then fled up the Intracoastal Waterway toward Oak Island.
At about 10 p.m. the U.S. Coast Guard detained a person matching the description of the shooter, who was taking their boat out of the water at a public boat ramp about 12 miles from the restaurant where the shooting occurred, according to a press release from the police department.
The suspect, 40-year-old Nigel Max Edge, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and five counts of common law-attempted first-degree murder, Southport Police Chief Todd Coring confirmed Sept. 29. Brunswick County Detention Center records show Edge was booked into the jail early Sunday morning where he is being held with no bond.
