Wonder if this had anything to do with a lockdown (heavy Sheriff presence)at Neuse Charter during the same time… SSS (across from the street from Neuse)and Smithfield Middle were not locked down…
Yes it did. The woman’s son goes to Neuse Charter. They were making sure he did not go and pick her son up at school.
