Latest updates on Catawba County mass shooting
And just to be clear the other 12 who were
injured any updates on their conditions at all because there's
just information going on on social media stable critical any
idea I would say serious condition for the balance of
the 12 which would be 10 then 1 critical and
one deceased totaling 12
So it's possible more people could lose their lives
It's certainly possible yes
That's all I've got
OK anybody else have anything Any any other agencies here
involved investigating We have Hickory Police Department the North Carolina
State Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
What's FBI doing here They've offered assistance assessing the crime
scene and helping us identify and follow leads
Any idea of the number of gunshots at this point
Multiple
Uh question how expansive is the crime scene Is it
isolated to a house or extends further into the street
Uh it is in the streets and also in the
yard inside the house in question in the backyard and
in the neighboring yard as well
OK just for the for the station again can you
just talk about the top you know talk about what
you have the information you have just about what happened
The the basics that would be from the top yeah
Uh sure around 12:45 this morning we received a call
about multiple persons being shot at the residence here on
Walnut Acres Drive
When the debbies arrived they confirmed multiple persons were shot
again we have 1 uh 12 total injuries
One of those people is deceased another critically injured
And then 10 people with serious injuries
Should people I know you're not commenting on suspects or
anything like that right now should people in the area
at all be concerned taking shelter any reason to worry
about their safety at all We don't know of any
danger to the community or to the general public
This does seem to be something that had some focus
associated with that party
No arrests though at this point not at this time
no sir
