• Mass power outage in North Carolina caused by gunfire, repairs could take days
• The power outages left at least 40,000 customers without electricity and rendered wastewater pumps out of order across the area. Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said Sunday that someone had “opened fire on the substation, the same thing at the other one.”
• He said investigators were still working to determine a motive, but he said that the person or persons responsible “knew exactly what they were doing” and that the attack was “targeted.”
• “It wasn’t random,” Fields said. The incident is being investigated as a criminal act, but Fields could not say Sunday if it rises to the level of domestic terrorism.
• A state of emergency was in effect Sunday night, and a shelter has opened at the Moore County Sports Complex.
