Suspect still at large, and the sheriff being unusually tight-lipped about information on the suspect. Apparently it was an argument after leaving a charter boat after a big party. The boat can carry 120 people. No life threatening injuries thank goodness.

Did catch this guy. He had fled to Chicago. 19-year-old. The suspect is the son of the party organizer and apparently he and his friend were the only two people not patted down at the beginning of the party. Glad everyone's physically okay and glad they got him.

Probably something involving a rapper or singer with money having a party with a place like that being the site of the shooting

It may have been. Wonder if the house was rented as a VRBO or something. Shootouts at parties in the middle of the night are often gang related.

So your theory is that some local bangers -- one presumes from the bustling metropolis of Hickory NC -- rented a house in the middle of nowhere and invited a bunch of people? Then, some rival bangers -- who knew Hickory was large enough to support multiple gangs -- showed up and they started wasting each other?

I find that to be, shall we say, far fetched. Maybe they came from Charlotte? Because, yes, bangers usually drive 100 miles to rent a house somewhere.

if you really think it's more likely that a "rapper or singer" with new money to burn would spend it on a house in Mountain View, NC, than that a rich white suburbanite kid was the shooter, I'm sorry not sorry - you're just being racist.

Yes, that is my theory. Gangs and gang culture are not confined to the cities.

Thanks to Hwy 321 the Charlotte bangers could very easily and comfortably make the drive to Mt. View without having to bother with I-77 or I-40. It really changes the shootout calculus.

You can just set the cruise control and sit in the right lane while listening to true crime podcasts.

Not being racist. Sorry if it came off like that. I am just going by what usually happens with mass shootings and where they happen. I probably shouldn't assume, though.

Statistically speaking a rich suburbanite white kid was probably not the shooter.

Your theory was that it was inner city violence. That's what the "it may have been" was referencing. So now you're saying that it was rural or small town gangs? Which is it? Maybe it's not gangs at all?

Not sure if sarcastic. I think so.

Just FYI, there are gangs in Hickory, although they are “local” gangs with little to no affiliation with gangs from outside the area.

This doesn’t strike me as gang-related activity, but if it was a HS party that got very large, it wouldn’t be completely out of the realm of possibility that members from different gangs ended up at the same party and something went down.

But it’s more likely to be something else, based on the location and early details.

Should have specified gang or drug-related. Gang culture is a common thread in a lot of these “party” shootings.

Drug related, sure. That's a very different beast, and obviously not specially linked to inner city violence. I mean, some gang activity involves drugs, but not all (or even most) drug activity is run by organizations we think of as "gangs."
 
Mountain View is roughly a one-hour drive from Charlotte. It is possible that a bunch of folks from Charlotte were looking for a nice, big Airbnb with a pool and booked that place. And it is possible that some of them may have had involvement in criminal activity and had beef with others who can form bad intentions. I’m not making any assumptions, but that certainly doesn’t seem out of the question. Of course it could be that situation involving people who are not from Charlotte.
 
Better question: what is Josh Stein doing to protect the God-fearing people of Mt. View from Charlotte gangbangers who can now make the drive with fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles? What these thugs save on gas they now invest in bullets.
