Mysterious shooting outside Army Special Forces residence in North Carolina raises questions
Fox News ^ | May 23, 2024 | Jennifer Griffin, Liz Friden

Two Chechen men who spoke broken English were found near the soldier's home. The family alleges the suspected intruder, 35-year-old Ramzan Daraev of Chicago was taking photos of their children. When confronted near a power line in a wooded part of the property, an altercation ensued and Daraev was shot several times at close range.

Sheriff Ronnie Fields said in a statement: "The caller indicated that an individual was observed taking photographs on the property and had become aggressive towards a resident outside their home…. The deceased was found approximately 250 yards from the roadway, along a powerline on the residential property. Identification was not initially found on Daraev; however, his identity was later confirmed through family members and an international identification located in his vehicle."

The shooter has been identified as a Colonel with the U.S. Army who resided at the location of the shooting.

U.S. Special Operations soldiers around the country have experienced strange interactions in recent years that they say involve suspicious surveillance of them and their families. Many believe that U.S. military bases have become an increasing target of foreign probes.

The shooting incident two weeks ago in Carthage could have been a case of mistaken identity. The two Chechens had no personal identification. They did have two cell phones with Russian language contacts and camera equipment. They were not wearing any uniforms for the power company that reportedly employed them.

Sheriff Ronnie Fields said Daraev was working as a subcontractor for Utilities One, a company based in New Jersey, at the time of his death. Investigators are still working to verify his official employment and immigration status.

At the time of the incident, Daraev was not in possession of any utility equipment, utility clothing, or identification. The incident has been reported to the

Sounds like he was up to no good.
You don’t act that way in a neighborhood that never saw you before.

I wonder where Sheriff Fields 'got' this information?

Maybe LinkedIn? I don’t know. He might have done a bit of research.

Doesn't sound suspicious, nope.

At the original Fort Bragg. I hope President Trump revokes the vindictive fake names given to military installations.

A few good minutes on Fox News. They seemed to say a lot of the muscular military age males coming across the borders (north and south) may have been scoping out military bases in several areas of the US for a while now. This is only the latest “mystery.” Americans living near the bases have been worried.

Foreign born and often with origins where terrorists train-—not just Arabs but also ones like Moldavians and Chechens. Observing our bases and seeing if they can penetrate fences, walls and supply truck gates.

Is this part of the FBI’s vague terrorist event warning?
Or will the FBI be the last to know?

But with Biden and the Dems in charge we can go to sleep at night knowing we don’t have to worry, right?

All the personnel I have seen working on the lines and right a ways.

Are in clearly marked vehicles and have some type of uniform.

Sounds to me like a recon.

Well, the open question is whether it was a Russian operation or a Mohammaden operation, given the Chechen origin of the team.

You left out the third question:

Or was the FBI behind it.

I know a little more about this than I should and it is very suspicious. There are plenty of SF folks in Moore County.

A major piece is left out. He was taking pictures? Let’s see them. Were they transmitted somewhere? Where?

What was the circumstance for the shooting? Was the guy armed? Did he have any kind of weapon? Something is being left out of the story. I doubt that a SF colonel just randomly shot some guy walking around in the twilight?
