JACKSON, N.C. (WRAL) – A Raleigh news outlet is reporting that students marching in a Christmas parade were harassed as they walked the parade route.
Jackson Police Chief John Young told WRAL students reported that a man with a shotgun threatened them as they marched in a Christmas parade on Saturday.
