Former Linn-Mar grad shot, killed in North Carolina

SWANSBORO, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina state police are investigating the role of an off-duty police officer in the shooting death of a Havelock Fire and Rescue firefighter.

Swansboro Police Chief Ed Parrish told The Daily News of Jacksonville that 27-year-old Austin James Zundel died Thursday after being shot four times. Media outlets said he was a native of Marion, Iowa.

Onslow County prosecutor Ernie Lee said he asked the State Bureau of Investigation to look into the role of 44-year-old Adam Stock in the shooting. Stock is a reserve deputy and a civilian police officer at Camp Lejeune.

No one has been charged in the shooting.

SBI spokeswoman Noelle Tally said the results of the agency's investigation would be turned over to prosecutors. Sheriff Ed Brown said he would not comment until the investigation is complete.
