CARTHAGE, N.C. (AP) - Authorities say a man accused of opening
fire in a North Carolina nursing home faces eight counts of
first-degree murder.
District Attorney Maureen Krueger identified the suspect in the
killings of eight people as 45-year-old Robert Stewart of Moore
County. He also faces a charge of felony assault of a law
enforcement officer.
Authorities say seven residents and one nurse were killed in the
10 a.m. rampage Sunday at Pinelake Health and Rehab in the town of
Carthage, about 60 miles southwest of Raleigh. A police officer and
several other people were also wounded before Stewart was shot and
apprehended.
Authorities at an afternoon news conference said Stewart did not
work at the facility and they don't believe he is related to any of
the victims.
