Arrest made within an hour after shots outside Wake Public Safety Center
Within an hour of shots ringing out in downtown Raleigh, a man had been arrested in Cary on Tuesday afternoon.
WE ARE LIVE AT BOTH SCENES. >>> AND HOW PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS HE'S FEELING. >>> WITNESSES HEARD SEVERAL SHOTS FIRED IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH, THEN AN HOUR LATER A SUSPECT WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CASE. THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS THE MAN SEEN IN THE VIDEO DID NOT HAVE A WEAPON WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED. WE HAVE LEAVE COVERAGE IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH AND THE SCENE OF THE SHOOTING. >> Reporter: WE ARE HERE IN CARY AND THIS SCENE IS CONNECTED TO THE DOWNTOWN RALEIGH SHOOTING. YOU CAN SEE CREWS ARE STILL HERE. WE HEARD FROM THE SHERIFF TODAY ABOUT THE ARREST. I WANT TO REITERATE, THE MALE SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY AND THE SHERIFF SAYS HE DID NOT RESIST AND DID FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, THAT HE HAD HIS HANDS UP AT ONE POINT. AGAIN, AT ONE POINT THEY WERE WALKING HIM BACKWARDS TOWARDS DEPUTY AND DEPUTIES WERE ABLE TO GET HIM IN HANDCUFFS AND TAKE HIM IN. YOU CAN SEE WE STILL HAVE CREWS AND DEPUTIES COMING IN AND OUT OF THIS STREET HERE AS POND STREET IS BLOCKED OFF. SOME WITNESSES SAY THE SCENE IS STILL VERY ACTIVE NEAR THAT HOUSE WHERE THAT MALE SUSPECT WAS FOUND AND ARRESTED. WE ARE HEARING FROM WITNESSES WHO LIVE DOWN IN THAT AREA, WHERE WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE IN, THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF INVOLVEMENT WITH ANOTHER FEMALE BACK THERE. WE ARE TRYING TO SCOOT BACK HERE. WE HAVE CREWS COMING IN AND OUT. WE ARE WORKING ON CONFIRMING AND WITNESSES SAY THERE SEEM TO BE MORE CREWS BACK THERE WITH A FEMALE IN SOME SORT OF SITUATION. SO WE ARE WORKING ON CONFIRMING THAT. THE MALE SUSPECT WHO IS CONNECTED TO THAT DOWNTOWN RALEIGH SHOOTING IS IN CUSTODY RIGHT NOW. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND TOSS IT BACK TO YOU AND WORK ONLY GETTING MORE DETAILS DOWN HERE. >> Reporter: ABOUT EIGHT SHOTS WERE FIRED HERE IN FRONT OF THE WAKE COUNTY JUSTICE CENTER TODAY AROUND 3:00 P.M. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE OUTSIDE. AS WE REPORTED EARLIER, NO GUNSHOT WOUNDS TO REPORT AS OF RIGHT NOW. WE KNOW THAT MAN WHO WAS BEHIND THIS WAS ARRESTED IN CARY. MANY PEOPLE IN THE AREA -- ONE MAN WAS ACTUALLY MAKING HIS WAZOO THE COURTHOUSE WHEN HE HEARD THE GUNFIRE. THIS IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT THAT MOMENT: >> AS SOON AS I WAS TRYING TO FIND A PARKING SPACE, BECAUSE I LIVE UP NEAR BURLINGTON, AND HEARD, PAP PAP PAP PAP PAP PAP, AND THOUGHT, THAT SOUNDS LIKE GUNFIRE. >> Reporter: I KNOW YOU SAW IN SOME OF THE EARLIER IMAGES, THE VIDEO OF SHATTERED GLASS SENT TO US BY THE WAKE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. THAT'S FROM THE BUILDING THERE, WHERE THE GUN WAS POINTED AT. KIND OF MIRACULOUS THAT A PLACE SO HEAVILY POPULATED RIGHT NOW DIDN'T RESULT IN ANY GUNSHOT INJURIES. SOME WERE TREATED FOR MORE MINOR INJURIES. I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE ABOUT 3:00 P.M. AND THE SCENE HAS CALMED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEWS OF THE ARREST OF THAT SUSPECT ALLEGED IN ALL THIS. >> AND THAT APPEARS TO BE FROM THAT PHOTOGRAPH WHERE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAD A DOOR BLOWN OUT. IS THERE ANY INDICATION THAT ANYONE WAS TARGETED IN THIS? >> Reporter: RIGHT, AND I THINK THAT WAS THE BIG QUESTION I THINK LESLIE ASKED. HE JUST WENT INTO CUSTODY SO HOPEFULLY THOSE QUESTIONS WILL GET ANSWERED, BUT WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY THIS MAN WAS HERE, AND IF HE WAS TRYING TO TARGET THE WAKE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE WINDOWS INTO THE WAKE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. AGAIN, NOBODY SHOT TODAY, WHICH
