FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- Two people are dead and two more are injured after a shooting Wednesday morning in Cumberland County.

Authorities say a man walked into the home and shot four others.



Two of them have died from their injuries, according to the sheriff's office. One is at a local hospital in critical condition.



The fourth sustained non life-threatening injuries.



The homicide unit is investigating.
