A suspected gunman was in custody after five people were fatally shot Thursday evening in Raleigh, North Carolina, in what the governor called "the nightmare of every community."
An off-duty police officer was among the fatally wounded victims, Mayor Mary-Anne Baldwin said.
The officer and the four other victims have not been publicly identified.
Hours after the shooting, which prompted warnings for residents to stay inside, the suspect, who was described as a "white male juvenile," was captured, Raleigh Police Lt. Jason Borneo said at a news conference Thursday night.
The suspect was not publicly identified, and his condition wasn't immediately clear. Borneo declined to provide additional details, citing an active investigation into the shooting, which unfolded in a neighborhood northeast of central Raleigh.
Two other people were wounded, one of them a K9 officer who had what Baldwin said were non-life-threatening injuries. Borneo later said he had been released from a hospital.
A second victim remained hospitalized in critical condition, he said.
