MT. PLEASANT, NC (WBTV) - Sheriff's deputies say a man shot his estranged wife and another man early Saturday morning before the gunman took his own life early Saturday morning.
The shooting happened around 12:15 a.m. at 1507 S. Main Street in Mt. Pleasant.
According to the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office, a person who lives in the home where the shooting occurred flagged down a passing motorist advising that three or four people had been shot and that the person responsible for the shooting may have taken his own life.
When sheriff's deputies arrived at the home, they found Harry Dewayne Motley dead and two other people suffering from gunshot wounds.
Kelley Litaker Motley and Donny Ray Threadgill were both transported by ambulance to Northeast Medical Center in Concord.
The sheriff's office says it appears Harry and Kelley Motley were recently separated. Kelley Motley was still living in the home S. Main Street. The shooting appears to be domestic related.
The sheriff's office says Harry Motley walked up to the home and went inside where he confronted Kelley Motley and Threadgill.
Harry Motley fired shots several shots. His estranged wife was shot once in the arm, and several bullets hit Threadgill in the torso, the sheriff's office said.
Two other people were in the home at the time, but they were not hurt.
The sheriff's office said the shooting was an isolated incident and remains under investigation.
