Students
Win Science
Awards
Three North Forsyth High
School students shared in the Alpha
Pi Lambda Chapter/Lowden E.
Anderson Sr. Science cash award
during the school's awards day pro
gram on May 21. Winners were:
Tori Vaughns, first place; Maria
Poindexter, second place; and J'Nie
E. Woosley , third place.
The award, which was created
in 1992 and awarded for the first
time last year, was named in honor
of Lowden Anderson, a retired mid
die school science teacher in the
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County
schools. The award is presented
annually to three students involved
in an experimental science project
at a high school.
This year, the school's honor
students in science were offered
options other than an experimental
science project They did a research
project involving a societal issue,
two of the dead were store employ
ees and the other four victims were
members of a cleaning crew.
'They were in the back of the
store near the meat coolers,'*
Bowen said. "All of the victims
except one were together. The one
made his way to the front and called
us.'*
Perry said the gunman
entered the store just after the clean
ing crew arrived. He forced the six
?victims to the back of the store,
where they were tied up with duct
tape and dog leashes from the store.
The victims* names were
beinjj withheld pending notification
of faiffily members. A television sta
tion reported that the store's safe
r
was completely emptied.
One man who had been shot
and another with stab wounds and a
cut throat were flown by helicopter
to a hospital in Greenville, said Dr.
Ed Warren, one of two county med
ical examiners. They were in critical
condition at press time, a hospital
spokeswoman said. Their names
were not immediately available.
The third wounded man was
treated and released at a local hospi
tal. Ross Bond, who sells plants
from a camper on a lot across the
street from the store, was sitting in a
chair looking at the parking lot. His
view ?vas obscured by trees, and he
said he didn't hear anything.
"We were right here when
they said it was going on/* Bond
said. "It was just real quiet silence.
Nothing was visible.*'
"The only thing that was
extreme was when the officers and
the rescue squad came in," he said.
Windsor is a town of about
2,400 near the coast, about 90 miles
east of Raleigh.
'This is very unusual for this
area,*' said Bertie County Sheriff
Wallace Perry. Only one other per
son has been killed in Bertie County
this year.
44 We've never had anything
like this in this little town," said a
clerk at the town office who did not
give her name.
