Two power substations in a North Carolina county were struck by gunfire in what police say is being investigated as a criminal act, causing damage that could take days to repair leaving tens of thousands of people in the dark without electricity.
In response to ongoing outages, which began just after 7pm on Saturday night across Moore County, officials announced a state of emergency that included a curfew from 9pm on Sunday until 5am on Monday.
Also, county schools will be closed Monday.
'An attack like this on critical infrastructure is a serious, intentional crime and I expect state and federal authorities to thoroughly investigate and bring those responsible to justice,' Governor Roy Cooper wrote on Twitter.
Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said during a Sunday news conference that authorities have not determined a motive behind the vandalism.
Fields also said investigators have found no evidence or reason to believe that the Saturday evening attack was tied to a controversial drag show in downtown Southern Pines.
The power went out during the Downtown Divas show at the Sunrise Theater about an hour into the show. Prior to the show, a number of protesters and counter-protesters had demonstrated out in front of the theater.
Organizers of the drag show revealed how far-right activists had tried to shut down the event for weeks.
In response to threats of violence, organizers then beefed up security for Saturday's event with the Southern Pines Police Department monitoring.
One local, Emily Grace Rainey, who is a former Army Captain had posted an invitation to the drag show protest on her Facebook page on Saturday morning, posted on Saturday night, 'The power is out in Moore County, and I know why.'

When all's said and done it'll be some liberal and the story will be dropped.

A drag queen connection? lolzzzzz... Just might be. Though I fail to see how rifle fire can take out a sub station.
ya hafta go to the local news to discover....immediately after the power went down, the Aberdeen wal mart and several gun stores were simultaneously hit with flash mob looting attacks.
Coincidence? Just “human nature” in play?
Maybe something a .....bit....more...uhm....troubling??
“..Though I fail to see how rifle fire can take out a sub station....”
A experienced, knowledgeable FIB sniper could easily take out the right gear. The diaper-wrapped, cup drooler would probably authorize it too.
40,000 people lose power, and somehow with no evidence, they already know that a homo pedophile party was the target. And another thing. Go find a transformer somewhere...tell me what neighborhoods will go dark if it fails.
This could be a drunk redneck having fun, a labor dispute, Antifa/BLM terror, some green Gretta Thunberg types, etc etc.
But noooooo that are sure it was for the pedos.
Police state.
Supposedly there are some kind of oil tanks or radiators that keep it cool. Hole one and the oil leaks out, then the transformer explodes. There is a photo with the story.
But how long that takes I have no idea.
By the way, if it was true it would actually be kind of funny. Damaging a transformer, to cut the lights out on transformers.
When all’s said and done the shooter will be a liberal - and the story will be dropped.
This is serious. Leftist extremists attack the infrastructure and without proof the attack is blamed on conservatives.
Nazi era,Rwanda era, Alinsky level steps to genocide.
Using guns too. This is high level manipulation. Enormously dangerous to conservatives.
If it had to do with opposition to a drag show, why would that person want to punish all of North Carolina?
It would seem they would just short out the show itself and not put a significant amount of Palmettos at risk of winter.
You're right. And days later when it turns out the 'killer' was NOT a conservative the correction is made on page 4 at the bottom... Scary stuff.

[40,000 people lose power, and somehow with no evidence, they already know that a homo pedophile party was the target]
Yep, the Leftist spin doctors are in full spin mode.
[and somehow with no evidence]
Well, it IS Daily Mail, so.......
[immediately after the power went down, the Aberdeen wal mart and several gun stores were simultaneously hit with flash mob looting attacks]
Hmmm.....now there’s an interesting connection, perhaps
They are indeed.
Well, they were certainly correct about Jussie Smollett and those two guys in MAGA hats.......
Fields also said investigators have found no evidence or reason to believe that the Saturday evening attack was tied to a controversial drag show in downtown Southern Pines.
Daily Mail UKs headline is BOGUS. Police 'probe'?
This looks like just worldwide MSM trying to stir up some sh!t to me.
