A decorated Marine veteran charged with firing an assault rifle from a boat at a waterfront bar in North Carolina, killing three people and wounding five, appeared subdued in court Monday as prosecutors said they may seek the death penalty. Law enforcement officers “got the confession” from the suspect following his arrest, said North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation Director Chip Hawley at a news conference Monday. Five people remained hospitalized from the violence in Southport, a historic port town about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Wilmington. Edge requested a court-appointed attorney and declined to comment during his appearance in Brunswick County Court, WECT News reported. Legal records indicate Edge turned to the court system to air a variety of perceived grievances.
