Two people were shot multiple times Friday morning in an alley beside the Wake County Courthouse in downtown Raleigh, and police said the alleged shooter is in custody.
Raleigh officers kept the scene active between Fayetteville and Salisbury streets as investigators worked to determine the circumstances and urged the public to avoid the area.
The victims were later identified as two attorneys who had shared a court appearance with the suspect, according to an earlier police briefing.
The shooting briefly locked down the courthouse area and raised security around nearby government buildings as authorities continued the downtown investigation.
