On January 13, 2026, shortly after 2:30 p.m., the Burlington Police Department received information that a vehicle belonging to Thomas Mark Sharp had been spotted in the area of Springwood Park (a city of Burlington public park). At the time, Sharp was wanted by the Stokes County Sheriff’s Office (NC) for attempted first-degree murder.

Using a drone, officers spotted the suspect in a largely unoccupied area of the park near the soccer fields. Officers approached the suspect, who then attempted to flee in his vehicle by driving through the unoccupied soccer fields. Officers were able to disable the suspect vehicle during his attempt to flee.
At this point, attempts were made to negotiate with Sharp for his safe surrender. During the resulting standoff, Sharpe shot himself and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Springwood Park will remain closed while police complete a full investigation of the scene. Damage to the fields will then be assessed by Burlington Recreation & Parks staff.
