I appeared on WFNC’s “Good Morning Fayetteville” show with host Jennifer Jones Rochelle on Monday morning to talk about two of my latest stories and recap the latest on the school resource officer problem.

CityView debuted its weekly segment on “Good Morning Fayetteville” last week. Our portion of the show will run at 8:10 a.m. each Monday. WFNC broadcasts over the air at 640 AM and 103.5HD2 FM, or you can stream it online.

Jennifer and I discussed: 

  • My collaborative investigation with public radio stations BPR, based in Asheville, and WFDD, based in Winston-Salem, about two California-based entities whose proposed housing projects fell through. 
  • My story from Friday on the impact of drive-by shootings in Cumberland County.
  • Where local municipalities have landed on the school resource officer crisis.
