The latest incident occurred about 3 a.m. Tuesday in Thomasville, located in central North Carolina, according to the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, which said the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is conducting a parallel investigation. Damage was discovered and evidence was recovered at the scene, the sheriff’s office said.
