Wake County Deputy Down

For the first time in almost twenty years a Wake County deputy is shot and killed in the line of duty. In the hours that followed WRAL News reporters scrambled to bring our viewers the latest information while investigators scrambled to catch the suspects. It’s a challenging story to cover because law enforcement is much more interested in catching the killers than feeding the media. In this episode we speak with Chelsea Donovan, one of the WRAL team members who led this coverage. https://www.wral.com/ned-byrd/20421651/
