Woman and juvenile killed, 2 other juveniles wounded by gunfire in NC home, cops say
A woman and child were killed and two other juveniles were wounded when gunfire erupted in a rural home south of Yanceyville, North Carolina, investigators say.
The man suspected of firing the shots died of a self-inflicted wound after leaving the home, the Caswell County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
The victims were discovered Saturday, May 18, when deputies were called to a home at 8110 Cherry Grove Road in the unincorporated Cherry Grove community, the sheriff’s office said. The area is about a 50-mile drive northwest of Durham.
“Deputies ... found four victims had been shot inside the residence,” the sheriff’s office said.
“Two victims, 37-year-old Danielle Hines and a juvenile, were pronounced dead at the scene and two juvenile victims were transported to an area hospital for treatment.”
The conditions of the wounded juveniles have not been released.
A suspect identified as 36-year-old Anthony Lamont Siler fled the home in a vehicle before deputies arrived, officials said.
Siler was later stopped by deputies in neighboring Alamance County, and he died at the scene of “a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” officials said.
Details of a motive in the shootings have not been released and investigators have not said if the victims are related.
