Louisburg, N.C. — A 19-year-old woman died after being shot in the head at a Franklin County home early Sunday, Sheriff Pat Green said.

David Bishop, 24, pulled out a gun and began firing in a house at 609 Fox Ridge Road in Fox Ridge Farms subdivision, south of Louisburg, Green said. He then aimed at Gabrielle Reece, 19, of Abercrombie Road in Wake Forest, and fired, the sheriff said.

Another young woman managed to flee from the house and called 911.

Bishop fled the scene, but deputies followed him to a wooded area near the home, Green said. However, he was still on the run Sunday evening.

Bishop was Reece’s boyfriend, deputies said. He was on probation following a March arrest for carrying a concealed weapon. He was arrested again last month for causing damage to personal property, but was released on bond, deputies said. More on NC wanted
