The News
A shooting at a large weekend party in southeastern North Carolina killed two people and critically wounded several others, a sheriff said Saturday.
Robeson County Sheriff Burnis Wilkins' office said in a news release on social media that 13 people were shot.
He said early Saturday that homicide investigators and others were at the scene of the party in a rural area outside of Maxton, which is about 95 miles southwest of Raleigh near the South Carolina border.
"There is no current threat to the community as this appears to have been an isolated incident," the release said.
More than 150 people fled the location before law enforcement officers arrived, Wilkins' office said, while asking that anyone with information about what happened or who was at the scene contact sheriff's investigators.
Timeline
The incident unfolded just before 3 a.m. local time on Saturday.
Reactions
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time," Wilkins said.
More
More information about the shooting, including names of those who died or were injured, was not immediately released Saturday.
No arrests had been announced.
