00:00As the FBI joins an investigation into the intentional attacks on multiple North Carolina
00:05substations, some people are claiming that the targeted gunfire was made in an attempt
00:10to cancel a local drag show. So what's the latest on the investigation?
00:13Brut can explain in less than 60 seconds. A state of emergency and mandatory curfew
00:18were implemented after 40,000 people were left without power due to gunfire damage at
00:23two power substations. Law enforcement firmly said the motives for the vandalism remain unclear.
00:29On social media, however, some have started to question whether the attack was a deliberate
00:34attempt to cancel a local drag show. In a press conference Sunday, the county sheriff addressed
00:39the rumors saying anything is possible, but that law enforcement had not been able to tie anything
00:44back to the drag show. At the time of the publishing of this video, no suspects have
00:48been named, and the county sheriff declined to say if the act was being considered domestic
00:52terrorism. Local officials say fixing the substations will cost millions and full
00:56restoration of power may not be possible until late this week.
