Bridget Lee Stratton, 46, of Hubert, North Carolina, died on February 6, 2022, at Vidant Medical Center from gunshot wounds sustained during a January 28 shooting at a Quail Trail residence. Reports say she and another resident, Seth Morrow, were shot after a confrontation about a damaged go-cart. Both victims were initially expected to recover, but Bridget later succumbed to her injuries.

The alleged shooter was 55-year-old roommate John McCoy II, who was arrested at the scene on January 28 and originally charged with two counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill causing serious injury and assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. After Bridget’s death, charges were upgraded to include felony murder; McCoy is held without bond at the Onslow County Detention Center. All three were roommates at the time of the incident.

Bridget was a native of Bennington, Vermont, a homemaker who enjoyed cooking and decorating cakes. She is survived by seven children, three grandchildren, her mother, siblings and numerous nieces and nephews. Does anyone have information about the household circumstances on Quail Trail or knew Bridget and can add details about that night?
