The Moore County Sheriff’s Office says is investigating incidents at multiple electric substations in Moore County that were shot up on Saturday night as a “criminal occurrence,” causing more than half the county’s

Workers from Duke Energy and authorities from the sheriff‘s office were at the substation off N.C. 211 near West Pine Middle School looking over the damage around midnight. Deputies were scanning the the area for bullet casings and other evidence, and vehicles were going through the woods in search of more evidence at the scene.

In a text message to a reporter, Chief Mike Cameron of the Southern Pines Fire and Rescue Department confirmed that substations had been shot at. He said the agency is “preparing to be out of power for 24 hours.”

Heavy police presence was around several gun shops and Wal-Mart in Aberdeen around 10:30 p.m. after reports of looting. One woman was detained in front Wal-Mart and police were conducting a headcount of employees outside of the store.

Data from the website poweroutage.us showed that more than 40,600 local electric customers, or about 63.7 percent of the county's customers, were without power was of 10:30 p.m. About 38,000 of those customers are Duke Energy subscribers.

It would be helpful to put the name of the state in the title or at least somewhere in the post!

Those Amish just won’t let up.

Not inferring a racial angle on this, just an innocent group
as compared to the folks who did this.

Cops in deep red counties consider cultural traditionalists to be the enemy and there people here boasting how secession will sweep the woke regime away. The cops are being brainwashed that we are the enemy.

You misspelled "muzzard".

Not inferring a racial angle on this

No, but you're implying it.

just an innocent group as compared to the folks who did this.

(Amish) It's getting a little old, hackneyed, banal, clichéd, cobwebby, commonplace, moth-eaten, musty, obligatory, shopworn, stale, stereotyped, threadbare, timeworn, tired, trite, and worn-out.

Doncha know.

I have always thought this would be the perfect form of domestic terrorism and wondered why no one has ever attempted it.
