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.
