A sherriff said it was "a gruesome scene" to local news site, WRAL.com. Two children were thought to be in the home at the time of the incident but neither was injured, another son was at school at the time.
A neighbour told the news site that he passed by the scene later and could not forget the look he saw on one police officer's face: "He just looked like he was just blown away. I mean, he was just in terror, he was so upset."
