Lunch Break (6/29/16): Obama set to visit Charlotte to officially support Clinton

Posted By on Wed, Jun 29, 2016 at 11:30 AM


President Barack Obama has announced plans to travel to Charlotte next week, marking his first official appearance in support of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Obama was originally set to join Clinton for the first time in Green Bay, but the scheduled appearance was postponed in the wake of the Orlando terror attack. Specifics of the appearance have not been revealed, but Clinton campaign staff confirm that both will speak on their vision for the future. (WCNC Staff) 

A man died last night after crashing into another vehicle while allegedly going double the speed limit in a residential neighborhood in east Charlotte. Police say 49-year-old Jonathan Furr was going about 50 miles per hour in a neighborhood where the posted speed limit was 25 miles per hour when he crossed the center line and struck a vehicle driven by 23-year-old Keyosha McVay head on. McVay suffered minor injuries. Police believe alcohol was also a factor in this crash. (Ryan Pitkin)
