Harrell, age 32, was identified as the victim, according to Bertie Sheriff John Holley. The incident occurred arotmd 4:15 p.m. approximately 1.5 miles north of the J.J. “Monk” Har rington Bridge over the Roanoke River. Sheriff HoUey said, “It’s a drive- by shooting. We have another motorist who said they witnessed shots being fired from one vehicle in the direction of another vehi cle.” Holley added that both vehicles were traveling north on N.C. 11 in the direction of Lewiston Wood- ville. The victim died at the scene, according to HoUey. The victim’s vehicle left the roadway, crossed a ditch, and overturned in a cotton field. “ The eyewitness reported that the shots were fired from a smaU, white truck - possibly an extend ed cab or quad cab - with Florida plates,” said HoUey. According to reports there were no signs of “road rage” between the two drivers before shots were fired. “They weren’t passing each oth er back-and-forth or speeding up/ slowing down on purpose, accord ing to the witness,” HoUey said. “So that kinda basicaUy ruled out road rage. “We’re investigating aU angles and we’U be able to learn a lot more once we find out who was driving the suspect vehicle,” Sher iff HoUey stated.

The rising cost of contin ued inflation has led to, in some cases, insunnountable stress and sociological hurdles that may seem too difficult to navigate. Many times the stress the family feels is acted out in children caus ing behavioral problems. Adding to the stress is the fact poverty is frequently confused wiffi neglect and extremely stressed parents may feel there is no place to turn for help. However, in Bertie County this is not the case. Currently the county offers a number of programs and net works providing guidance and support to families in need of and seeking help. One of those models, according to Bertie County System of Care Chair (SOC), Marcia Watford, is the Bertie County System of Care collaborative. Tte model is a co ordinated network of community services and supports that are or ganized to meet the challenges of serving children with behavioral health issues and their families. The primary service focuses on the mental health and sub stance abuse services that meet the needs of children and youth. Part of the Trillimn Health Re sources System, the collaborative was established in 2009 to meet the request of the state that every county in North Carolina offer a collaborative. Collaborative meetings provide resources to Children and youth and their families, as well as ser vice providers and stakeholders Bertie Coimfy System of Care Coordinator Hope Eley has 16 years experience as a SOC Coor dinator. “The System of Care model is not a program; it is a philosophy of how supports and services should be delivered.
