"The U.S. Marine Corps veteran accused of killing three people and injuring five others in a mass shooting at a North Carolina waterfront restaurant on Saturday spent years filing federal lawsuits filled with sprawling conspiracies and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. His final complaint was filed just three days before the September 27 attack. Authorities say Nigel Max Edge, of Oak Island, positioned his center-console vessel alongside the deck of the American Fish Company, a popular bar and filming site for Nicholas Sparks' , and unleashed a burst of gunfire into a crowd gathered for live music."
""This was not random. It was highly premeditated," Southport Police Chief Todd Coring said. He added that the location was "targeted," though he did not elaborate. The three people killed were identified as Lindsay R. Brown, Deion L. Johnson, and Anthony C. Granito. District Attorney Jon David noted that many victims were tourists."
"Edge appeared by video for his first court hearing on Monday and was denied bond on three counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted murder, and five counts of assault with a deadly weapon. Prosecutors said they are considering the death penalty and disclosed that he may have tried the attack a night earlier, when he was spotted lurking off"
