Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Npr.org: “Another North Carolina power substation was damaged by gunfire”. Below is an excerpt from the article.
A North Carolina power substation was damaged by gunfire early Tuesday in the third known power substation shooting in the state since early December.
Crews responded to an alarm at the substation in the city of Thomasville, southwest of Greensboro, where they discovered the substation transformer was struck by an "apparent gunshot," the electricity provider EnergyUnited said in a statement.
The Randolph County Sheriff's Office said law enforcement investigators canvassed the scene and gathered evidence and believe the shooting happened at about 3 a.m.
The FBI and North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations were notified and the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is conducting its own investigation, the sheriff's office said.
In early December, two power substations in neighboring Moore County were damaged by gunfire on the same night, knocking out power for tens of thousands of residents for multiple days.
