Both vietims were black people. Investigators armed with a search warrant went to a home north of Spring Lake where one of the soldiers had rented a room. They found a Nazi flag, a West German flag and pamphlets that appeared to describe the White Supremacist Party, as well as a cookbook on how to make homemade bombs, Bryant said. Investigators also found a semiautomatic pistol believed to be the murder weapon, Bryant said. Police believe the drunken soldiers set out late Wednesday night to find and harass black people.
They do not know specifically what provoked the shootings. "As far as we know they had no history of prior contact with the individuals. We believe it was a random shoot," said Capt. Brad Chandler. The soldiers were being held without bond Thursday night and are scheduled to appear in court today.
