HOPE MILLS (AP) — The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that left a suspected robber dead and a man wounded.

Multiple news sources report Gerald Douglas Raeford was killed early Thursday morning at a Hope Mills home. Deputies say Raeford was one of three men trying to rob a man, demanding money as he was trying to get into his vehicle. The man pulled a revolver from his vehicle and shot at the burglars, striking one. Raeford was pronounced dead at the scene.

The homeowner was also taken to the hospital after suffering a gunshot wound to his abdomen. His condition is unclear.

Deputies say the other two men escaped on foot. The men are considered armed and dangerous.
