the quick early version:

Driver hit the kid, who was killed [instantly]. Driver stopped to call 911, dad shot him mid call, left dead driver and dad's dead child there, took driver's truck and drove home.

ETA: I have no idea how I'd react. Not like this for sure, but also, would I leave my dead/dying child there? wouldn't I take their body if I felt I had to leave the scene? Wait, why would I leave the scene?

ROXBORO, N.C. (WNCN) — A father is facing three charges and a bond of a $500,000 after a horrific crash and deadly shooting Monday.

Since Monday, detectives have been scouring the area of Dink Ashley Road looking for evidence. The sheriff’s office told CBS 17 on Monday that Woods Sr. threw the gun used in the shooting into a nearby pond.

Woods was arrested and initially charged with second-degree murder and larceny of a motor vehicle. A third charge has since been made against him for possession of a firearm by a felon.

Poor kiddo.

Wild that it was a Corrections official who hit the teenager. Sounds like the dad just snapped. What an awful situation.

Eta: I presume this is the guy since it was said he was charged with possession of firearm by a felon and this is the only Chad E Woods felon in the DOC search. Person county.
