Authorities say the alleged gunman in a mass shooting at a North Carolina waterfront restaurant — which left three people dead and at least eight injured — reportedly embraced anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theories. Investigators allege that the suspect, 40-year-old Nigel Max Edge, was piloting a white center-console boat through a busy stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway lined with bars and restaurants. From just off the American Fish Company’s deck, he allegedly opened fire on the crowd, according to Fox News. Two deputies responding on a sheriff’s department boat later spotted Edge as he walked to retrieve his boat trailer. Over the past year, Edge filed multiple civil lawsuits against individuals and organizations, many of which reflected paranoid, anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theories.
