The substation attacks that have left tens of thousands without electricity were the result of criminal misdeeds, according to the governor of North Carolina, who is now working to bring those responsible to justice. Over the weekend, Moore County, South Carolina, suffered major power outages, prompting authorities to declare a state of emergency as the temperature plummeted near to freezing. The outage was caused by a rash of people who vandalized and shot at the county's power plants, causing significant damage to two substations.

The FBI has joined the probe into two North Carolina electric substations that closed down almost 40,000 households over the weekend. In Moore County, they will work with state and local law enforcement to find out if people protesting a drag show intentionally set off power. The outages began shortly after 7 p.m. on Saturday night, but a drag show at the Sunrise Theater in Southern Pines was on display, attracting the notice of several protesters who had protested outside. One woman who had been invited to the drag festival wrote on Facebook a few days later that she wondered why the outage occurred but later said it was an act of God. Authorities have not determined a motive for the shootings, only saying that it was "intentional" and that the perpetrators will face the full extent of the statute as 36,000 residents remain without electricity.
