Raleigh Police Department quickly issued a warning to people and businesses in the area to keep everybody inside.
"We just didn't' have a lot of information at that time. We didn't know what the intentions of the individual were, so the decision was made to send that out just so everybody could shelter in place," an officer told ABC11 crews.
