A teenager was shot and killed early Thursday morning while visiting with several friends at a Newton home, authorities said.
Witnesses told authorities that Zackary Thomas Walker, 18, of Newton was at a friend's home off River Road about 12:45 a.m. Thursday when a group of men came into the house and fired a handgun at him, said Maj. Coy Reid of the Catawba County Sheriff's Office.
Reid would not say how many times Walker was shot or where the fatal bullet struck.
Walker was taken to Frye Regional Medical Center, where he died. Nobody else was injured.
Investigators do not know whether Walker knew any of the men.
Anyone with information should call 828-464-5241.
