At least five people were killed, including an off-duty police officer, and two others were injured in a shooting along a North Carolina nature trail on Thursday evening, authorities said.

The suspect, who local police described as a white male juvenile, was taken into custody with life-threatening injuries, according to a briefing memo issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and obtained by ABC News.

“It is unknown if the suspect’s injuries are self-inflicted,” the memo said.

A law enforcement official told ABC News that the suspect is 15 years old.

The shooting occurred in the vicinity of the Neuse River Greenway Trail near Osprey Cove and Bay Harbor drives in North Carolina’s capital city of Raleigh. As the deadly incident unfolded, the Raleigh Police Department took to Twitter to advise nearby residents “to remain in their homes.”
