View Full Version : FT BRAGG HS SHOOTING
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Authorities say a 15-year-old student was shot and wounded at a North Carolina high school. No arrests have been made, and no gun has been recovered.
Cape Fear High School just outside Fayetteville was placed on lockdown Monday and parents told to stay away until the scene is cleared by law enforcement. Neighboring Mac Williams Middle School was also locked down for a time before students were released at 2:45 p.m.
Sheriff Earl "Moose" Butler said a female student was shot in the neck with what appeared to be a small-caliber bullet. She has been taken to a nearby hospital. Butler says no suspects have been arrested.
Assistant Superintendent Theresa Perry says parents would be advised later in the afternoon as to when they could pick up their children.
:(
Eastover - the "other" side of the Cape Fear River. Mostly rural, scattered older small communities, rural home sites and scattered subdivisions of double wides and upscale single family homes.
The HS is about 1/2 between I-95 and Stedman.
Could have resulted from anything.

Fayetteville, NOT Bragg.
There is no high school on post.
Ft. Bragg has NOTHING to do with this.

An updated FayOb story that gives a little more details. The info about the lockdown and lack of information flowing to the parents trying to get to the school to pick up their kids is interesting. The kids texting info out to their parents and friend.

Late Monday, the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office said it had taken into custody two students who deputies believe were responsible for the single shot that wounded Catilyn Abercrombie......................."
I'm sure the parents of the 18 and 15 yo's are proud...they should be charged with a hate crime...or does it work "the other way around"????
