A Targeted Incident Ends in Tragedy
The deadly shooting occurred on Friday, December 20, at the Lumberton Super Walmart. Police were called to the scene at approximately 3:45 p.m., following reports of gunfire near the Woodforest Bank inside the store.
When officers arrived, they found Olson suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite efforts from bystanders and emergency responders, she succumbed to her injuries after being transported to UNC Health Southeastern.
Investigators believe the shooting was an isolated incident, targeting two individuals known to the suspects who were standing near the bank. Tragically, Olson, a bystander, was not the intended target, according to *WMBF News*.
Community Response and Ongoing Search
The Lumberton Police Department is continuing its investigation and has urged anyone with information about Burden’s whereabouts to come forward. Authorities are asking individuals to contact the Lumberton Police Department at 910-671-3845.
