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.
The man suspected of ramming his truck into a Mormon church in Michigan before entering, shooting, and killing multiple people has been identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford, the New York Post reported on Sunday afternoon. Sanford is a 40-year-old former Marine who served in the Iraq War from 2004 to 2008, according to posts from his mom's Facebook account. He is a resident of Burton, Michigan, which is about eight miles from Grand Blanc Township, where the attack happened.
Joseph Rothrock, special agent-in-charge of the FBI's Dallas field office, told reporters at a news briefing that the attack as an "act of targeted violence." "Early evidence that we've seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that were anti-ICE in nature," Rothrock said.

Lying in an intensive care unit hospital bed, 11-year-old Genevieve Bisek is comforted by the many handmade cards she has received from fellow classmates after Wednesday's shooting at a Minneapolis church. Some are decorated with beads, some with sparkling stars. All of them are taped to the walls of her room at the Hennepin County Medical Center, where she has been recovering. Her condition has been upgraded from critical to satisfactory.
We waited 10 to 5 minutes, I don't really know, and then we went to the gym, and then the doors locked, just to make sure [the shooter] didn't come. We waited in the gym for more news and everyone was okay or most people were. Halsne then said his friend got hit in the back by a bullet. I was super scared for him, but I think now he is okay, Halsne added.
