RALEIGH, N.C. — A few doors down from the scene of Raleigh’s mass shooting, children waited for the school bus Friday morning and neighbors walked their dogs as helicopters swirled overhead.
”It was crazy,” said Gary Devone, walking his pitbull as the sun rose on Osprey Cove Drive. “But I guess that’s why we protect ourselves.”
Behind him, close enough to toss a Frisbee, the Neuse River Greenway ran behind a row of houses, easy access for hundreds who jog, walk and bike daily.
