A new search warrant has been released revealing what the Hedingham mass shooting suspect had with him when police officers captured him.
Austin Thompson was 15 years old when the shooting happened. Police said he began the killing spree on the evening of Oct. 13, 2022 by killing his brother in their home. He then exited the house and shot two women in the streets of the neighborhood before running toward the Neuse River Greenway Trail. Before getting to the trail he shot Officer Gabriel Torres, who was on his way to start his shift with the police department.
Raleigh Police Department officers spent several hours that night searching for Thompson. At around 6:45 p.m. they found him in a wooded area with two buildings near McConnell Oliver Drive.
Video shows the officers approaching one of the buildings. Multiple shots then ring out and officers promptly return fire–shooting several shots at the building
