The 15-year-old Raleigh mass shooting suspect allegedly killed his brother first before embarking on a bloody rampage last week that left four others dead, a new report reveals.
The timeline detailing the carnage was included in a preliminary report filed Thursday by Raleigh Chief of Police Estella Patterson that also said suspect Austin Thompson remains in critical condition after suffering an apparent gunshot wound in last Thursday’s mayhem.
Though police did not refer to Thompson by name in the 4-page memo, he was identified by media outlets and by his own parents.
The teen allegedly killed five people, one dog and injured two others before barricading himself inside a residential building.
Among the dead were off-duty police officer Gabriel Torres, 29, and Thompson’s own brother, 16-year-old James Thompson. Nicole Conners, 52, and her dog Sammy, Mary Marshall, 35, and Susan Karnatz, 49, were also killed in the violence.
According to the report, James Thompson was the first shooting victim. He was found dead in his home with apparent gunshot and stab wounds.
