As law enforcement secured the area, additional shooting victims began arriving at nearby hospitals, including Scotland Health Care in Laurinburg and UNC Health Southeastern Medical Center in Lumberton.

One victim was later airlifted to an undisclosed medical facility with life-threatening injuries.

Authorities say the shooting occurred during a large Halloween-themed outdoor party promoted on social media as a “Dirt Road Halloween Party” with the tagline, “Ain’t no party like the dirt road party.”

Flyers for the event advertised “FREE PJ, BYOB, and leave ya drama with ya mama,” drawing a crowd estimated at over 150 attendees.

When deputies arrived, most of the crowd had already fled, leaving behind overturned tables, scattered debris, and abandoned vehicles.

The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the following individuals were among those injured:

In a statement, Sheriff Burnis Wilkins condemned the violence and emphasized the dangers of mixing alcohol and firearms, particularly among young people.

“This was yet another senseless act of gun violence that has taken the lives of two individuals and left many others seriously injured,” Sheriff Wilkins said. “What makes this even more disturbing is the involvement of teenagers, alcohol, and guns at a large house party. Dozens of videos posted from the event show that alcohol and guns don’t mix—regardless of age. As seen here, the consequences are once again tragic.”

He added that those responsible for the “reckless and heartless act” will be held accountable and extended condolences to the families of the victims and the broader community impacted by the shooting.

The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Division is leading the investigation, with assistance from multiple agencies including the Robeson County District Attorney’s Office, Robeson County Emergency Management, Fairmont Police Department, North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE), Hoke County Sheriff’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Residents are urged to contact investigators with any information that may aid the case.

CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.

The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.

The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.

When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.

Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.

According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.

Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.

Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.

Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.

Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.

Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.

Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.

Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
