CALDWELL COUNTY, N.C. — Nearly two years after a double murder suspect bonded out of jail, police said he was involved in a drive-by shooting.

Police said Horizons Elementary in Lenoir was placed on lockdown around 3 p.m. Monday after a shooting at a home on Arlington Circle.

Witnesses told Channel 9's Dave Faherty they could hear the shots from their homes.

Police arrested three men including Daniel Minton, who is accused of firing repeatedly into the home, hitting one person inside. The victim was rushed to a hospital, but their condition is unknown.

"Bullet ain't got no names on them, honey," neighbor Ko-Ko Myers said.

Minton was out of jail after being accused of killing Janarion Knox and  Branique McKnight in a high-profile 2017 double murder in Hickory.

Carlos Walker is the father of Knox, who was shot and killed at the Ridgecrest Apartments.

At the time of the murders, police released a surveillance photo of Minton at the apartment complex.

After Minton's arrest for the murders, Walker said he never thought Minton would be released, but a judge set his bond at $500,000, and he was out of jail until his trial.

"They shouldn't have given him a bond the first time," Walker said.

It's unclear what led to Monday's drive-by shooting, but police told Channel 9 they've already alerted prosecutors about Minton's involvement.
