Margaret Peoples Johnson was 89 when she was killed on March 29, 2009, at the Pine Lake Health and Rehab Center in Carthage, North Carolina. She was one of eight people slain when a gunman moved through the facility, shooting residents and staff. The attack also left several others injured.

Authorities identified the gunman as 45-year-old Robert Stewart of Moore County. He was arrested and charged with eight counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony assault on a law enforcement officer. Investigators said Stewart was not a patient or employee at the home and had no known connection to the victims. His ex-wife told police he had recently been contacting family, claiming he had cancer and was preparing for a long trip, but she did not know any motive.

Officer Justin Garner confronted Stewart and subdued him, an action officials described as preventing further loss of life. The community was deeply shaken by the shootings. Does anyone have information about Margaret Peoples Johnson or memories of Pine Lake that could help piece together her final day?
