CATAWBA COUNTY, N.C. (WJZY) — A mass shooting incident in Hickory, North Carolina, has resulted in one fatality and at least 12 injuries, as confirmed by the Catawba County Sheriff’s Office.

Emergency responders arrived at the scene around 12:45 a.m. on Sunday, June 1, following reports of multiple shootings at a location within the Mountain View community, located approximately 60 miles north of Charlotte.

Authorities have indicated that 12 individuals were affected; one has been pronounced dead, another is in critical condition, and 10 others are hospitalized with serious injuries.

As of Sunday morning, no arrests have been made, but investigators from the Hickory Police Department and special agents from the State Bureau of Investigation are working to establish a motive and to identify any suspects.
