7 Residents, 1 Nurse Die in Nursing Home Shooting

In Carthage North Carolina...

A lone gunman burst into a North Carolina nursing home Sunday morning and started "shooting everything," barging into the rooms of terrified patients, sparing some from his rampage without explanation while killing seven residents and a nurse caring for them.

Authorities said Robert Stewart also wounded three others, including the Carthage police officer who confronted him in a hallway of Pinelake Health and Rehab and stopped the brutal attack.

The shooter is in custody and charged with eights counts of first degree murder. the weapon used was a deer rifle. My condolences to the families of the slain.
