A teacher got arrested for trying to escape from the police after almost getting into a car crash for going so fast down the road. He was a teacher at a high school. He was one of the best teachers. He says he wasn't trying to hurt anyone and has to go back to court in March.

The story that caught my eye is that a 14-year-old was charged with murder after a deadly shooting on Poole Road. I hope they catch the 14-year-old and bring him to justice. I hope the people are okay after getting shot. I hope he goes to jail.

What I am writing about is a teacher that was going at a high speed down I-40 and they caught him at first at 96 or something like that. The police turned on their lights and he did not stop; he accelerated to 150. They got into a speech chase, and he got arrested for reckless driving. He did not mean to go that fast, he said that he did not see the police lights. He felt very bad because he really did not mean for that to happen and now, he is learning from his mistakes.

The story that I picked was about the Charlotte standoff that ended when the SC murder suspect shot himself. The reason why I picked this one is because it said that he shot himself inside a motel room. I picked this because two teenagers were with him when shot himself, but the teenagers were ok. They were unharmed. That is why I picked this one.

I looked at the story and it caught my eye, here we go. People rescued 170 dogs that were neglected at a puppy mill. As soon as I saw this story, I immediately wanted to write this story. I love dogs so much, keep doing what you’re doing people.

I read a story about a teenager charged with murder. The story says the 14-year-old was a drug dealer. The shooting happened at 3:33 pm, and a man named Amari Goss got shot. After the shooting, the 14-year-old was taken into custody, but the man later died. The story was surprising to me because the 14-year-old shouldn't be able to do this.

A 14-year-old was a well-known drug dealer and shot 24 year old Amari Goss. He shot this guy and the man died at the hospital.  They are charging him as an adult with murder but until then, they can not release his name because he is a minor.

There was a crash that happened on Lynn Road near Baywood Drive just after 2:30 a.m. Crews in Raleigh are working to make repairs to power lines after the crash happened early Wednesday morning. No injuries were reported.
