Today I saw State of Urgency at Hillside High School. It’s a powerful play focusing on the impact of gun violence in our communities. Their message of non-violence was made even more emotional knowing these students lost one of their classmates to gun violence just last week.

I’m in Onslow County awaiting the trial of Adolphus Earl Kimrey. Kimrey was charged with murdering three year old Mariah Woods in 2017. @SpecNews1ILM @SpecNews1RDU
