There's no single consensus on the definition of a mass shooting. The Gun Violence Archive (GVA), a nonprofit research group, defines a mass shooting as an incident where four or more people are injured or killed by gunfire, not including the suspect. The suspect in Grand Blanc died in a confrontation with police.

Three days have passed since a mass shooting in Southport and more details as to what happened the night of Sept. 27 are emerging. As of 1 p.m. Sept. 30, the only court documents available to the public outlining the mass shooting in Southport are magistrate orders.

An Oak Island man accused of killing three people in a mass shooting at a Southport bar over the weekend is a combat veteran who says he suffers from PTSD, according to Southport police.

The family has confirmed that a local woman was one of three people killed when a gunman opened fire at a waterfront bar in Southport.

He is being held without bail, the records show. Nigel Max Edge is also being held on five counts of attempted first-degree murder for the mass shooting. WECT confirmed that Edge is being held in connection with the American Fish Company shooting. The motive is not yet clear.

Southport came together in prayer for the victims and the suspect in the seaside city's first mass shooting on Sept. 28.

Freshman Kaneycha Turner, 19, and Ronaldlee Snipes, 15, were fatally shot. Four others were shot and hospitalized, police said.

We stand with the victims of this senseless act of violence and destruction that has struck at the heart of our community,” said Delrico J. Loyd, chairman of the county board of commissioners.
