NC Mass Shooting Suspect Identified as Nigel Edge

But records show Edge has been behind several bizarre lawsuits filed in North Carolina this year — including one accusing a Southport church of trying to kill him.

The suit, filed in May, claimed the Generations Church was behind a “civil conspiracy” masterminded by the LGBTQ community and white supremacist pedophiles to kill Edge because he’s “a straight man.”

In January, Edge filed a similar suit against the Brunswick Medical Center, accusing it of being part of a conspiracy launched by “LGBTQ White Supremacists” who were allegedly out to get him because he survived their attack in Iraq.

Both lawsuits were dismissed with prejudice, according to court records.

The wild claims in the lawsuits echo those detailed in a book written by ​Nigel when he went by Sean DeBevoise, “Headshot: Betrayal of a Nation,” where he claims that he was shot four times, including in the head, by friendly fire over an international conspiracy.

He claims he served in the Marines Corps and was deployed to Haiti and then served two tours in Iraq when he found himself in the middle of the conspiracy ring.

The ​Marine said he was wounded in two separate IED attacks during a 2006 tour in Iraq, along with a bullet wound that left shrapnel lodged in his head.

North Carolina authorities identified Edge as a combat veteran allegedly suffering from PTSD.

He was previously seen on the red carpet accompanying “American Idol” star Kellie Pickler to the Country Music Awards in 2012.

Coring and local officials said that Edge has no significant criminal history, but his civil lawsuits and “minor brushes with the law” made him known to officials in Oak Island, where the suspect lived.
