Sheriff warns of scam targeting residents

On Friday morning, deputies with the Moore County Sheriff’s Office went to a residence on Doubs Chapel Road to execute a search warrant. 

The deputies were met at the door by the subject in question but were denied entry into the residence.

Shortly thereafter, deputies heard a single gunshot.  The suspect was later found inside the residence with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
 
Sheriff Fields has requested that the State Bureau of Investigation assist the Moore County Sheriff’s Office with the investigation. 

No further information will be given at this time as the case remains under investigation.
