Man Arrested and Charged in Connection to Deadly Mass Shooting at a North Carolina Bar
Nigel Max Edge, a combat veteran with PTSD, faces multiple charges after a premeditated attack killed three and injured eight at a Southport waterfront restaurant, officials said.
- On September 27, 2025, Nigel Max Edge opened fire from a boat at the American Fish Company bar in Southport, North Carolina, killing three and injuring several.
- Authorities identified Edge, a 40-year-old Oak Island resident and former Marine combat veteran reportedly suffering from PTSD, as the lone attacker in a highly premeditated shooting.
- Edge fled via the Intracoastal Waterway but was detained by the U.S. Coast Guard shortly after 10 p.m. at an Oak Island public ramp and is held without bond in Brunswick County Jail.
- Edge is charged with three first-degree murder counts, five attempted murder counts, and multiple assault charges, and he has filed several lawsuits containing conspiracy theories, some of which have been dismissed while others remain pending.
- Governor Josh Stein emphasized on Sunday the need for improved measures to address serious mental health issues and announced plans to visit Southport as the community grieves following the targeted attack.
