North Carolina man shot 2 neighbors in backyard, police say
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities said a man suspected of killing two of his neighbors in North Carolina approached one of the men in his backyard just before he started shooting.
Cabarrus County deputies said 50-year-old Anthony Hardy killed himself after hiding in his home for several hours after the shooting Friday afternoon.
Investigators said Hardy fired on 64-year-old Gary Stocks and 42-year-old Daniel Kirchner in Kirchner's backyard. The two victims lived on each side of Hardy's house on a cul-de-sac. The subdivision of dozens of homes is about a mile from Interstate 485 in Harrisburg.

Investigators said it appeared Hardy had some kind of dispute with his neighbors, and they are still trying to determine why he was angry.
