Roxboro Police Lt. Todd Boycher told The Courier-Times Monday
that investigators were working with school officials
to see if the incident arose from something that took place
[at Person High School] and to make sure it does not carry
over to the school.
Boycher also added that he did not believe the shooting incident
was gang-related.
So far, we have not been able to come up with anything
that ties this to being gang-related, Boycher said.
