Lots of good information in the linked article originally shared upthread.

Noach has lived in the area for almost a decade and though unfamiliar with Edge said her neighbors are aware of the suspect. They have indicated he is “unhinged,” she described, “someone who should not have access to weapons.”

Police Chief Charlie Morris said Sunday the Oak Island Police Department is familiar with the suspect, who has “hung out on [their] pier” and engaged with employees.

Earlier this year, Edge opened a complaint against the department. He filled out court documents asking for a video recording of the interaction involving an FBI tip that Oak Island PD allegedly dispatched to Edge’s house. It was dismissed.

It sounds like someone possibly reported him to the FBI at some point.

OMG, I and my family were supposed to eat dinner and then go to the American Fish Company for drinks and to hear the band. Due to the weather coming in, we postponed the trip for later on this month. I followed this since it hit YouTube last night. I love this place. Long ago it was a fish house where fish were unloaded right off the boats. You could buy fresh seafood there. Now, it's a neat little bar (not a restaurant) with wide open seating right on the water. You can sit there and watch the boats come in and the dolphins play. This location was the bar used in the movie Safe Haven. All my family have called to see if I was there. I feel very lucky and heartbroken for the families.

@lonetraveler, My husband and I have been going to Southport and OKI for 30+ years. His uncle lived on West St. in Southport til a few years ago. I, too, am shocked at the tragedy of such a quaint and beautiful town. Have been on this riverwalk, pier, and in the restaurants, as well as Provisions, more times than I can count, one of our fav things to do in Southport was to walk on the Riverwalk and the Marina, so right where this occurred. I am so pained for those traumatized in the bar...workers, patrons, band members. Their lives will never be the same. This sick guy's PTSD has now caused PTSD for a myriad of others
