Greensboro NC Attorney

The short version

After a thorough investigation, law enforcement has made the determination that a plain clothes officer is the person who fired the deadly shot that killed a man during a recent church shooting. Our Greensboro NC attorney has been advised that police wanted to make sure this was correct before releasing the information.

The funeral was for a High Point man who was the victim of a homicide.

The officer was investigating his homicide when two cars pulled up and began to open fire on the funeral.

Approximately 70 rounds were fired according to a top rated lawyer in Greensboro NC. The SBI did a thorough testing before releasing this information.

According to our criminal lawyer, under the felony murder rule, if someone is killed during the commission of a felony, then they can be charged with murder. The officer it wold appear was justified in returning fire. It will be interesting to see how this all came about. Our attorneys in Greensboro NC will continue to keep you informed.
