FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina police department says a motorcyclist was shot and killed in what’s being described as a road rage incident.
A news release from the Fayetteville Police Department says officers sent to a location in the center of the city at around 12:31 p.m. Monday found that an unidentified man riding a motorcycle had been shot.
