SOUTHPORT, N.C. — Authorities have identified the suspect in Saturday night’s mass shooting at the American Fish Company in the Southport Yacht Basin as 40-year-old Nigel Max Edge of Oak Island, North Carolina.
Edge, a former U.S. Marine veteran, is accused of opening fire from a boat anchored on the Cape Fear River around 9:30 p.m., killing three people and injuring at least nine others.
Witnesses say patrons were dining and socializing at the popular waterfront restaurant when shots suddenly rang out, creating chaos along the busy marina district.
Investigators confirm that Edge, who was accompanied by a spotted dog on board, allegedly used a short-barrel AR-style rifle equipped with a suppressor, folding stock, and scope to carry out the attack.
Following the shooting, he fled by boat toward Oak Island.
The U.S. Coast Guard later detained a man matching his description at the NE 55th Street public boat ramp, taking him into custody without further incident. He is currently being held at the Brunswick County Jail without bond.

Have they scrubbed his social media yet?
Waiting for the usual calls for disarming the US citizens.
When the democrats are out of power the shootings increase by 100 times
MK-Ultra making plans for Nigel.
He was apparently shot up several times in Iraq, including head wound. Diagnosed with a host of psychiatric/mental issues.
He suffered severe head injuries in the Afghan theatre and was a schizophrenic. It was not legal (I think) for him to own a gun.
Then just how did he get the gun?!
I know he was a Purple Heart veteran, as am I.
I was making a smart-ass comment about the grammar.
Proof writers are dumb as rocks and where the heck is his editor? Good grief.
On the webb, one must do his own editing.
Nigel Edge not his real name. Actual name is Sean William DeBevoise. Claims he was given fake name, fake family.
Known for filing several lawsuits,most dismissed. Represented himself. Suffered head injury after friendly fire incident. Claims to have been forced into sex trafficking, somehow connected to Epstein. Etc. etc. etc.
Yeah, urinalists today are surely lacking.....
Firearms are easily obtainable.
It’s part of their protection racket
The stupid leftists were already doing that on Twitter/X last night before this guy was even positively identified.
I guess he was on edge.
AR Style rifles can’t have folding stocks due to the buffer tube. I wonder what other facts are wrong in this article?
So was Oswald.
