What did the suspect’s parents say?

In a statement released by the suspect’s parents on Tuesday, Alan and Elise Thompson wrote, Words cannot even begin to express our agony and loss. The statement was released by Alan Thompson and Elise Thompson and the message reads,

Our son Austin inflicted immeasurable pain on the Raleigh community, and we are overcome with grief for the innocent lives lost. We pray for the families and loved ones of Nicole Conners, Susan Karnatz, Mary Marshall, and Raleigh Police Officer Gabriel Torres. We mourn their loss and the loss of our son, James.

“We pray that Marcille ‘Lynn’ Gardner and Raleigh Police Officer Casey Clark fully recover from their injuries, and we pray for everyone who was traumatized by these senseless acts of violence,” they added.

“We have so many unanswered questions. There were never any indications or warning signs that Austin was capable of doing anything like this. Our family will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement officials and do whatever we can to help them understand why and how this happened.”

According to a statement released by the Department of Homeland Security, Austin was brought into custody with life-threatening injuries following an encounter with police last Thursday. As per the document, it’s unclear whether the suspect intentionally hurt himself.

Officer Gabriel Torres, 29, was one of the victims. According to Raleigh Police Chief Estella Patterson, Torres was shot and died while on his route to work. One of the other victims is James Thompson, the suspect’s brother.

Authorities reported that two other persons were hurt during the incident, which happened close to the Neuse River Greenway Trail.

Public information officer, Julia Milstead said,

On Thursday, Chief Patterson will submit a five-day report to the city manager that will include a thorough account of what happened during the incident. The report will include all the details about the suspect’s injuries, the weapon used, and other such information. She added that one of the victims is improving and the other has been discharged from the hospital.

The chief claimed that over the course of the previous five days, the homicide team had been working around the clock to “better comprehend the sequence of events that took place and the possible causes behind the suspect’s actions.”

“Despite the large number of lives lost, it is reasonable that this case will be heard in Superior Court and that this individual will be prosecuted as an adult.”
