HICKORY, N.C. — Hickory Police are investigating a murder-suicide that left two teens dead and a three-year-old injured.

The three-year-old was reportedly outside during the shooting and was struck by shrapnel and is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Just before 9pm Hickory Police say they received information that one of the suspects, 17-year-old Zamare Davidson, was dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a residence in Burke County. A second suspect, 20-year-old Jonathan Laxton, of Conover, was taken into custody and will be charged with one count of accessory after the fact.
