POLICE SAY 41 YEAR-OLD CHRISTOPHER JONES SHOT AND KILLED 19 YEAR OLD MALACHI PEGRAM IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE TREASURE CLUB ON BOEING DRIVE, PEGRAM DIED THERE. AT THE SCENE, OFFICERS SAY JONES IS AN EMPLOYEE AT THE CLUB AND TWO PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN A TWO TRUCK CRASH IN DAVIDSON COUNTY. TROOPERS SAY JERRY SURRATT, THE SECOND WAS DRIVING ON I-85 SOUTH YESTERDAY MORNING WHEN HE REAR ENDED ANOTHER TRUCK THAT WAS PULLING A TRAILER THAT CAUSED THE TRUCK THAT WAS HIT TO OVERTURN AND GO OFF THE ROAD. TWO PEOPLE INSIDE ALLEN SANDERSON AND MARK HUGHES, BOTH DIED AT THE SCENE. SURRATT WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH SERIOUS INJURIES. HE IS FACING SEVERAL CHARGES, INCLUDING MISDEMEANOR DEATH BY MOTOR VEHICLE AND DRIVING WITH A REVOKED LICENSE. TROOPERS SAY PROSECUTORS DO NOT PLAN ON FILING CHARGES IN A CRASH INVOLVING A FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. THE CRASH HAPPENED LAST MONTH ON HORNEYTOWN ROAD AND NORTH MAIN STREET. HIGHWAY PATROL SAYS THE DEPUTY WAS RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY CALL AT THE TIME WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT THE CRUISER, SENDING IT FLYING INTO A UTILITY POLE. BOTH DRIVERS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BUT ARE EXPECTED TO RECOVER TONIGHT. PROTESTS CONTINUE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WITH DEMONSTRATORS CALLING FOR A FREE PALESTINE. THIS GROUP GATHERED AT UNC CHAPEL HILL THIS MORNING, MARCHING ACROSS CAMPUSES THERE FOR NEARLY A WEEK. PROTESTERS HAVE CAMPED OUT AT WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY IN SUPPORT OF PALESTINE. BUT EARLY THIS MORNING, THE UNIVERSITY NOTIFIED THOSE STUDENTS THAT THEY WOULD FACE SUSPENSION IF THEY DID NOT DISPERSE. WXII 12 CHRIS PETERSEN IS ON CAMPUS WITH THE LATEST FOR US. CHRIS. CHRISTINE. THE UNIVERSITY DESIGNATED THIS SPOT BEHIND ME ON POTEET FIELD BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8 A.M. AND 8 P.M. FOR PROTEST AS A WAY TO GIVE THEM A PLATFORM FOR FREE SPEECH AND KEEP STUDENTS SAFE. WE DIDN'T SEE ANY PROTESTERS AS WE DROVE AROUND CAMPUS ON FRIDAY. A MUCH DIFFERENT SCENE ON CAMPUS FROM THE ONE STUDENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE TENTS AND PROTESTERS ARE GONE, AND STUDENTS ARE MAKING THEIR WAY AROUND CAMPUS. IN THE EARLY HOURS OF FRIDAY MORNING, UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS TOLD PROTESTERS TO LEAVE OR FACE SUSPENSION. IN AN EMAIL, THE UNIVERSITY SAYS THE UNIVERSITY'S EARLY MORNING ACTION WAS TAKEN TO MINIMIZE THE RISK TO STUDENTS, BOTH THOSE DIRECTLY INVOLVED AND BYSTANDERS, AND TO AVOID FURTHER DISRUPTION TO THE ACADEMIC MISSION, FINAL EXAMS AND PLANNED CAMPUS ACTIVITIES. CLASSES ARE OVER FOR THE YEAR AND STUDENTS ARE PREPARING FOR FINAL EXAMS. STUDENTS WE SPOKE WITH SAY THEY'RE HAPPY WITH THE WAY THE UNIVERSITY HANDLED THE SITUATION, AND ARE GLAD THE PROTEST DIDN'T DISRUPT CLASS AND THE UPCOMING GRADUATION CEREMONIES. I THINK THEY HANDLED IT VERY APPROPRIATELY AND PROFESSIONALLY BECAUSE THEY GAVE THEM LIKE A DESIGNATED AREA WHERE THEY CAN FREELY GO TO IF THEY WANT TO PROTEST AND THEN LIKE IF PEOPLE CHOOSE TO GO, THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO GO. AND I THINK IT'S JUST I THINK IT'S GREAT BECAUSE THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE BRING UP LIKE THE ENCAMPMENTS OVER HERE WHERE SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYTHING. SO. THE UNIVERSITY ALSO SAYS THEY WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO HEAL DIVISIONS AND BRING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER. IN WINSTON-SALEM, I'M CHRIS PETERSEN, WXII, I 12 NEWS.
