A quiet Sunday evening in Greensboro’s upscale Grandover neighborhood ended in violence on August 23, 2026, when gunfire on Creswell Court left two women wounded. Neighbors 76-year-old Margaret Maggie Collins and 73-year-old Kathryn Binkley were found with gunshot injuries; Binkley was pronounced dead at the scene and Collins died the following day, August 24. First responders arrived at about 6:45 p.m.

Witnesses identified a nearby neighbor, 64-year-old Michael Wade Hargett, as the assailant. After the shooting Hargett barricaded himself inside a residence, prompting deployment of the Special Response Team and Hostage Negotiation Team. Officers later entered and found Hargett with a self-inflicted gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and subsequently arrested.

Authorities have not released a motive and say they are not seeking additional suspects. Collins is remembered by friends and neighbors for her compassion and feisty spirit. Does anyone in Grandover recall heated exchanges or other tensions involving these neighbors before August 23?
