RAEFORD — A Fayetteville State University campus police officer was arrested Thursday and accused of shooting his wife, said Chief Marc Godwin of the Raeford Police Department.

As of Thursday night, no charges had been filed against Fayetteville State campus police Sgt. Corey Manning, 36, and of the same address. He remained in custody Thursday night.

"I don't know the charges until we're done and have spoken with the District Attorney's Office," Godwin said. "We want to make the appropriate charges."

Latishe Bernice Manning, no age available, of the 100 block of Pinto Drive, Lumberton, is listed in stable condition, he said. Her injuries do not appear to be life-threatening after she was taken to an out-of-county hospital, Godwin added at a news conference held this afternoon at the police department.

Manning is a sergeant and public safety supervisor with the university's campus police, according to Fayetteville State's online faculty and staff finder. Previously, he served as a deputy and jailer with the Hoke County Sheriff's Office.

Manning has been with the university's campus police since Aug. 4, 2014, said Jeffery Womble, the spokesman for Fayetteville State University.

Manning has been placed on leave pending the outcome of the Raeford police investigation, Womble said.

Chief Renarde D. Earl, who heads up the campus police at FSU, did not return phone messages left Thursday.

The couple's altercation appeared to stem from ongoing domestic issues, Godwin said.

Manning allegedly shot twice into his wife's car and she was struck once in "the leg, hip area. We think she'll be OK," Godwin said.

"... The Raeford Police Department received a call from the Hoke County Communication Center in reference to a female screaming about a shooting through a 911 open line at McDonald's," Godwin said.

According to the police chief, the two had been traveling down U.S. 401 in two separate vehicles around 6:50 a.m. Thursday. She pulled into a Waffle House parking lot in Raeford and Corey Manning then "rammed her vehicle with his vehicle," Godwin said.

Manning's wife was able to leave the parking lot and drove across the road into McDonald's before he pursued her there.

"Struck her again there at the front of McDonald's, in the thoroughfare there, where her vehicle come to a rest," Godwin said. "She then attempted to leave that area after he got out of the car and approached her. When she tried to leave — at this time, we believe the shots were fired — at least two shots were fired going inside the vehicle. His wife was struck one time. She then went to the parking lot and made a circle out to (U.S.) 401 and come back into the parking lot where she" then phoned 911.

He said her husband fled the scene.

"We responded (to the call) and saw two vehicles that were damaged," Godwin said. "And the suspect had left the scene. We spoke with the female. She said her husband had been in an altercation with her, and he had fled the scene."

Manning was located on Dixon Street and taken into custody without incident, according to Godwin. "He was apprehended, from what I understand, within seconds," he said.

"We did seize a weapon when we took him into custody," Godwin noted, "and it was not his service weapon."
