I have to agree that news 13 is really on top of things in the pee dee….NOT!! And way to give the details on things!!
well said dogman! I was told some percentage by an employee of the office at one point about how they report the stories but there is no way the pee dee percentage should even count since it’s half of a story to begin with.
If it doesn’t happen at the beach, it only gets a halfway researched story. WBTW and the Morning News USED to be the news source for Florence and the Pee Dee. Now both are following the lead of WPDE and WMBF and providing us with the flunky reporters while all the attention goes to the Grand Strand.
I understand he was shot by his own father during/after an argument.
I have in the past heard parents tell their kids, I brought you into this world, I can take you out!
Sad world, sad sad people and it seems peole don’t want to do better. I quess drama makes their life worth living.
Wow… thanks for all the details there. Was it an accident? A crime? Do they people in the area need to be on the look out for a murderer???
