North Carolina Boat Shooter Seen Scoping Out Bar Night Before Attack on Video
North Carolina Shooting
Suspect Scoped Out Bar night Before Fatal Attack
… Seen on Video
Published
The suspected gunman who killed 3 people and left 5 injured after he shot up a waterfront bar and restaurant in North Carolina Saturday night appears to have scoped the site out the night before the attack … and there’s video evidence.
Check out the clip … an eyewitness tells TMZ the accused killer Nigel Edge can be seen floating about 20 yards away from the American Fish Company in Southport, located on the Cape Fear River.

A person — apparently Edge — is behind the wheel of a white center console motorboat with the phrase “Game On” emblazoned on the side. The whole vessel is dark aside from the navigational lights on the bow. Something spooks him … and he ducks down and slowly heads out of the area.
Southport Police Chief Todd Coring said Sunday the attack was without a doubt premeditated, and prosecutors confirmed in court Monday he was seen floating near the establishment with his lights off Friday night.
And, as we reported, Edge returned Saturday night and wreaked havoc on unsuspecting bar patrons. He was later apprehended by police as he backed his trailer into the water to retrieve his boat.
Authorities say he used a 300 Blackout Sig Sauer rifle outfitted with a suppressor and scope to carry out his slaughter … and also had a .380 handgun on him when he was arrested.
He has yet to enter a plea and is being held without bond due to his being a flight risk and a danger to the community, per the judge presiding over his case. He is due in court on Oct. 13 for a probable cause hearing.
Edge is a former Marine who — as we told you over the weekend — once attended the CMT Music Awards with Kellie Pickler … and sued her earlier this year for allegedly trying to poison him at the event.
He also sued a hospital for medical malpractice … and for allegedly trying to off him as well.
Edge suffered near-fatal injuries while on deployment in Iraq back in 2006 … and says he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Dane Britt, a musician who played at the American Fish Company Friday night, recorded the video seen in our reporting.

Handles Bodyguard After Door Slam Fail!!!🫣

Rihanna wasn’t about to stay shut out — after her bodyguard let a door hit her in the face, she fired off a perfect clapback, all caught on cam!
The singer was stepping out of NYC’s Four Seasons on Friday when a door swung straight into her face as her bodyguard strolled right on ahead — prompting her to laugh it off and clap back, “Such a gentleman you are!”
TBF, he wasn’t totally checked out — he just seemed way more focused on the pack of paps rushing in and forgot Rihanna was right behind him.
The video’s already making the rounds online — and yeah, no clue if the bodyguard’s cringing over that door-slam fail.
One thing’s clear though … Rihanna can handle herself, and no door’s bold enough to shut her down!
St. Paul Church ICE Protester
Desperate Times, Desperate Measures!!!

Local and federal authorities are investigating after a group of anti-ICE protesters crashed a Minnesota church service … and one of the demonstrators tells TMZ she’d still do it all over again.
Here’s the deal … the DOJ and local police are investigating after protesters interrupted a service at the Cities Church in St. Paul … which is getting major headlines because Don Lemon was in the mix live-streaming the incident.

Chauntyll Allen, leader of Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, who was among the group, tells TMZ … the jarring protest inside the church was necessary to make clear to the parishioners that having a pastor who is also an ICE official is unacceptable.
Chauntyll, who’s also a St. Paul School Board member, argues the community is being ripped apart by ICE … so the group disrupting a church service — and upsetting some parishioners — in comparison is pretty small potatoes.

The protesters have been dragged by people on the Right for going inside the church … but Chauntyll tells us she doesn’t think a line was crossed … and she would do it again if given the opportunity.
As for the threats of possible criminal charges … as you can see in the video, Chauntyll couldn’t care less, and argues the feds have vastly bigger fish to fry.
We spoke to a Cities Church member who feels the complete opposite … and who welcomes authorities sending a message that this type of behavior is unacceptable. And it seems President Trump agrees … sharing a social media post that Lemon specifically should be locked away.
