On Sunday, May 29th, 2016 at approximately 1:50 am Deputies with the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office were involved in a shooting incident during a traffic stop. The investigation has been turned over to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.

The hastily prepared article.

I’d just like to remind you that the investigation has been turned over to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation. Let’s highlight some things from that original article…

If you didn’t know, the investigation has been turned over to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.
