Arrest made in shooting that left 1 dead and 11 hurt around North Carolina house party
HICKORY, N.C. — A 20-year-old man was arrested Tuesday on an attempted murder charge in connection with a weekend shooting around a house party in North Carolina that led to the death of one person and injuries for 11 others, sheriff's deputies said.
Garon Nathaniel Killian, of Lenoir, was being held in jail without bond, the Catawba County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. Online records did not show booking or lawyer information for Killian and the county court clerk's office's phone did not accept voicemails Tuesday evening.
Authorities executed search warrants on Tuesday as part of the investigation into the shooting, which left some people with gunshot wounds and others with injuries from fleeing the gunfire. Additional people could be arrested, the sheriff's office said.
The shooting took place early Sunday in a usually quiet residential neighborhood in southwest Catawba County, about 7 miles (11 kilometers) south of the city of Hickory. Authorities said at least 80 shots were fired beginning at about 12:45 a.m. People reported running, ducking for cover and scrambling to their cars for safety.
The crime scene spanned several properties along a neighborhood road, covering about 2 acres (0.8 hectares), and included outdoor and indoor areas, Sheriff's office Maj. Aaron Turk said Sunday.
A 58-year-old man, Shawn Patrick Hood, of Lenoir, was killed. He was the oldest of the victims, who ranged in age from as young as 16, the sheriff's office said. The agency said it was asking for people who attended the party to contact the office.

Sacramento police release video of 3 officers shooting suspect on N. 16th Street
SACRAMENTO – Sacramento police released video of three officers shooting a man along N. 16th Street after reports that the man was brandishing a firearm last month. On May 13, police responded to a report that a man was brandishing a firearm around 9 a.m. near N. 16th Street and N. B Street. The report indicated the man was walking in the street, waving a handgun in the air and pointing it at people, police said. Three officers arrived at the scene and located the suspect, discovering what appeared to be a firearm in the suspect's pocket. Officers gave commands to not reach for the firearm and to get on the sidewalk, police said. But the suspect did not comply with officers and continued to walk toward the officers while telling them to shoot him, police said. When the suspect took the firearm out of his pocket, three officers fired their guns, police said. The suspect was then struck and fell to the ground, at which point an officer removed the firearm from the suspect's right hand and rendered aid, police said. The firearm was later determined to be an imitation firearm, police said. The suspect, who was not identified, was rushed to the hospital before he was later booked into jail for resisting arrest and brandishing an imitation gun. The police department's homicide unit, internal affairs division and professional standards unit are investigating the incident. The force investigation team will also conduct an investigation. No officers were injured in the incident.
