Reidsville, North Carolina – A tragic incident unfolded in Caswell County, resulting in the death of a mother and her child, while two other children were injured in a shooting. Late in the evening, deputies responded to a call reporting gunshots at a residence on Cherry Grove Road. Upon arrival, they discovered the lifeless bodies of 37-year-old Danielle Hines and her child. The two surviving children were swiftly transported to a medical facility, where they are expected to recover from their injuries. The suspect, identified as Anthony Lamont Siler, had fled the scene before law enforcement arrived.
Authorities later intercepted Siler in a different county, where he died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The tragic incident, which claimed the lives of a mother and child, does not appear to be a random act of violence, according to officials. Hines, a correctional officer at Caswell Correctional Center, had joined the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction in December 2020, leaving colleagues and loved ones devastated by the news.
