Five people are dead, including an off-duty police officer, and at least two others are injured after a shooting on a nature trail in Raleigh, North Carolina, Thursday night, officials said.
The suspect, who police said is a white male juvenile, has been taken into custody. There is no active, ongoing threat, Raleigh Police Lt. Jason Borneo said, adding that a motive will be determined over the coming days.
An injured officer has been released from the hospital and a second person remains in critical condition, Borneo said. A K-9 officer who has non-life-threatening injuries is among those injured, Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin said.
"When we lose one of our own, it is a tragic, heartbreaking day for all of us," Borneo said.
"We must stop this mindless violence in America and we must address gun violence," Baldwin said.

At least three people were transported to WakeMed Health and Hospitals' trauma center in connection with the incident, a hospital official confirmed to ABC News. There is no word on their condition currently. The hospital official does not know if others were injured in the shooting.
The scene of the shooting was in the area of the Neuse River Greenway Trail near Osprey Cove and Bay Harbor drives, police said.
"Residents in that area are advised to remain in their homes," the Raleigh Police Department tweeted.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said he has instructed state law enforcement to "provide assistance responding to the active shooter in East Raleigh."
"State and local officers are on the ground and working to stop the shooter and keep people safe," he said on Twitter.
"Tonight terror has reached our doorstep. The nightmare of every community has come to Raleigh," Cooper said during a second press conference Thursday night. "This is a senseless, horrific and infuriating act of violence that has been committed."
