A Roanoke Rapids man with a history of violence recently released from prison has been shot while robbing a local business and is in critical condition.
Halifax County Sheriff
Wes Tripp said deputies responded to a business in the Roanoke Rapids
area around 11:40 p.m. Friday in reference to a shooting. Upon arrival,
Tripp said, deputies found Cul Priest Jones, 40, lying in the parking
lot suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Tripp said the business
owner, who also resides at the business, was awakened during the night
and when he went to investigate, found the suspect behind the cash
register with a handgun. The business owner, Tripp said, was assaulted
during the encounter and fired “several” shots at the suspect with a
handgun.
