Overview
- Deputies who responded just before 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday found four adults shot at a home on 352 Brooks Road in Prospect Hill, with three people pronounced dead at the scene and one taken to Duke University Hospital.
- Caswell County Sheriff Tony Durden said all four victims were adults and members of the same family and that the suspected shooter was among those killed.
- The Caswell County Sheriff's Office is leading an active investigation with assistance from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, the State Highway Patrol, local emergency services, and SBI crime-scene teams are collecting evidence and conducting interviews at the house.
- Authorities said the incident is contained to the residence, there is no threat to the public, and officials are withholding names until next-of-kin notifications are completed.
- Investigators have not released a motive or the condition of the hospitalized victim and expect to provide further updates after evidence processing and family notifications, a step that could shape whether the case is classified as domestic-related or criminally motivated.
