The FBI has joined the investigation into what police believe were intentional attacks on two electric substations in North Carolina that resulted in a massive blackout.
“The person, or persons, who did this knew exactly what they were doing,” Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said Sunday, according to CNN. “We don’t have a clue why Moore County.”
Fields said multiple rounds of gunshots were fired at two substations, leading to a blackout that began Saturday night.
More than 33,000 customers were still without power on Monday morning, according to The News & Observer in Raleigh.
Duke Energy spokesman Jeff Brooks said power will not be restored any time soon, according to WCNC-TV.
