Multiple people were killed and at least one person was hospitalized in what's being described by law enforcement as a "mass shooting." 

The Caswell County Sheriff's office responded to a call just before 8 a.m. Wednesday at a home in Prospect Hill, North Carolina.

When deputies arrived, they found several people who had been shot. One person was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound, WFMY reported. Authorities say multiple people were killed, but they haven't said how many. 

Investigators are collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses to try to determine what happened. Officials do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public.
