GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Police say they are investigating the fatal shooting of a North Carolina community college worker as a possible hate crime.
Goldsboro police Sgt. Jeremy Sutton refused to say Tuesday what hate crime was being investigated.
Police say 20-year-old Kenneth Morgan Stancil III entered a campus print shop where he used to work in a work-study program and fired once with a pistol-grip shotgun, killing his former supervisor Ron Lane.
The shooting happened Monday morning, just after Lane had arrived to work. Police say Stancil fled and was eventually captured early Tuesday on a beach in Volusia County, Florida.
School officials say Stancil was dismissed from the school's work-study program for too many absences.
