Moulson reported from Berlin. Associated Press writer Josh Boak in Washington contributed to this report.NEWTON, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina local law enforcement expressed frustration on Wednesday that a man charged in connection with last weekend’s shooting around a house party that left one person dead and 11 others injured had been out of jail for unrelated charges lodged against him in April.

Garon Nathaniel Killian, 20, of Lenoir, was arrested Tuesday and accused of one count of attempted first-degree murder related to the shooting in a residential neighborhood about 7 miles (11 kilometers) south of Hickory. Killian remained in the Catawba County jail after a hearing Wednesday before a district court judge who said he could be released awaiting trial if a $200,000 bond was posted. Prosecutors had requested that no bond be allowed, media outlets reported.By late Wednesday, authorities announced they were seeking to apprehend two additional suspects, each wanted on a charge of attempted first-degree murder. And two other men each faced three counts of helping someone under age 21 by allowing the possession of alcoholic beverages were arrested, according to the Catawba County Sheriff’s Office. Killian was also expected to face additional charges, sheriff’s Maj. Aaron Turk said.A previous Hickory Police Department press release said Killian and another young man had been charged with several counts — including attempted first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill — for an April 6 altercation in a parking lot that led to shots being fired into a crowd. No one was injured.

The Charlotte Observer, citing court records, said that Killian had been free on a $100,000 bond. Killian’s attorney now and for the April case didn’t respond to phone and email messages Wednesday.Catawba County Sheriff Don Brown told reporters that he was “outraged” by Wednesday’s $200,000 bond.

“I believe he should have never went back on the street after Hickory Police Department charged him with those crimes,” Brown said. “This is frustrating. It’s infuriating.”

Hickory police Chief Reed Baer also expressed similar concerns.. How do you even begin? Will it look clunky and make me feel like a dinosaur? And the cost!

Getting a hearing test, and confirmation that I needed a hearing aid, was just the beginning.The doctor handed me a list of places I could go to get fitted. I made some calls and narrowed it down to the places that took my insurance and my zero-interest health care credit card.

The first couple places were demoralizing: I walked in, was told it’d be $7,000 for the “best” option (they mysteriously didn’t happen to have any other options handy), then marched right back out the door, utterly discouraged.I started asking friends and neighbors whether they wore a hearing aid, or knew anyone at all with a hearing aid, and could point me to a good audiologist.
