ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- A suspect wanted for attempted murder in Dudley, North Carolina, was taken into custody in Schenectady on May 18. Law enforcement agencies believe Danielle Morrisey to be responsible for a shooting incident in Dudley on April 16, during which a female suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was treated for life-threatening injuries.
An arrest warrant was issued for attempted murder in the first degree and possession of a firearm by a felon. Investigations by the Wayne County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina and the U.S. Marshals determined that Morrisey fled the state and was hiding in the Capital Region in New York.
