Multiple people were killed in a shooting at a home in Caswell County, North Carolina, on Wednesday morning, according to state investigators.
Law enforcement responded to the residence shortly before 8 a.m., WRAL News reported. Caswell County sits along the Virginia border, roughly an hour and a half northwest of Raleigh.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation said there is no threat to the general public and that the county sheriff's office is still establishing the basic facts of the case. The bureau confirmed multiple fatalities but has not said how many people died or were wounded.
Authorities have released no information about the victims or a suspect, and have not characterized the relationship between them. The absence of a public-safety warning generally indicates investigators believe the shooting was contained to the residence, though officials have not said so directly.
This is a developing story and will be updated as officials release more information.
