Police made two arrests following a fatal shooting in Rock Hill early this morning in which a 20-year-old man was shot and killed while sitting in a car on Cherry Laurel Lane. The incident happened at around 12:30 a.m. Detectives arrested two men in an apartment complex on the same street. Police say they have recovered the murder weapon and charged 24-year-old Ernest Thompson with murder, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and two attempted murder charges.

Apparently a local radio station in Morganton showed up to a Roses Discount Store for one of those fake concerts involving nineties music stars — Fred Durst in this case — playing in middle-of-nowhere non-venues. Our professional, journalistic take on this situation: lol. (Joe Bruno, WSOC)
The responses to "Fred Durst is playing a show at a Rose's in Morganton" range from "In On The Joke" to "OMG YES" https://t.co/8OSU0SSRyK
