| [FoxNews] Five people are dead and two others are injured after a shooting in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Thursday afternoon. Officers said a juvenile suspect was taken into custody at a home around 8 p.m. He wasn't identified because of his age. Raleigh Police Lt. Jason Borneo called it a "heartbreaking day for our city," adding that every officer in their department is a "brother" or a "sister" and the loss of one of their own is a "tragedy." Speaking in a second press conference shortly before 11 p.m. ET, authorities said one patient had been released from the hospital and the other is critical condition. Borneo said the suspect's motive is still unknown at this time and there would be another update at 8:30 in the morning. Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin said during an earlier press conference that five people are dead as a result of the shooting, adding a Raleigh Police Department officer, who was off-duty, is among those killed. Baldwin said one of those hospitalized is a K-9 officer. She said that the Raleigh Police Department responded to the scene shortly after 5 p.m. in the area of the Neuse River Greenway. The Raleigh Police Department said on Thursday night that the suspect is in custody. A representative from WakeMed hospital in Raleigh told Fox News Digital that it has received four patients from the incident. Police in Raleigh tweeted just before 6 p.m. that it was responding to an active shooting on Thursday and were telling residents to "remain in their homes" if they are near Osprey Cove Drive and Bay Harbor Drive. |

| #4 The shooter is a 15-year-old white male according to the latest reports. He was shooting people on a walking path in the greenbelt adjacent to the neighborhood. The suspect "was taken into custody with life-threatening injuries. It is unknown if the suspect's injuries are self-inflicted." I think the scenario is pretty self evident. #1 - Why the ATF, etc? The local mayor is a gun-grabber Progressive. From her campaign website, she wants to "make Raleigh an inclusive, welcoming, and equitable city". (2/3 of the DEI progressive credo) Judging from her press conference, where she could not resist saying "We must do something about gun violence" before the bodies were even cold, she is trying to politicize this for the election to drive up Dem/Prog turnout. She is a typical progressive, rolling in the blood of the victims to promote her progressive agenda. |

| #3 Time was, cops would avenge their own. I guess it's the same everywhere. An overall decline due to more checks than balances. |
