I'm Nick Craig. Good morning to you. Four people were injured in a shooting Friday night in downtown Concord during its yearly Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Police said on Friday, November the 21st, as that yearly celebration was taking place just before 7:30 p.m., a shooting happened during the event. Concord Police said that four people were injured, three were in critical condition, and the other was stable as all four of them were taken to the hospital.
According to law enforcement, the shooting was not, in fact, a random act of violence directed at the public, and the Concord Police Department investigation, which still remains ongoing this morning, showed that the shooting was between two suspects who were well known to each other. Police have accounted for all parties involved, with the Concord Police Chief Jimmy Hughes saying in a statement, quote, a night of celebration for our community was interrupted by senseless violence affecting everyone who was there. Our community showed great strength and resilience as everyone came together to help one another and our officers. Due to the quick action of our downtown businesses, the public, first responders, and law enforcement, we were able to quickly evacuate the area, preventing additional injuries and identifying all suspects involved. With the support and information provided by the public, as you can imagine during a Christmas parade, a lot of folks.
Recording and taking videos and pictures with their phones, the Concord police were able to identify 18-year-old Nazir Bostik from Concord as one of the shooters. He is one of the four gunshot wounds as well, and he was taken to a hospital as he remains there in critical condition. And with some charges over his head, his warrants for his arrest have been issued for assault with a deadly weapon, inflicting serious injury with the intent to kill, as well as inciting a riot. Bostik will serve, will be served upon release from the hospital, but again, he remains in critical condition this morning. Concord Police also filed petitions through the North Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice for a second suspected shooter who is a juvenile under the age of 18 years old.
Police have also filed petition for assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury with the intent to kill. Two counts of discharging into an occupied property inflicting serious injury and that same charge of inciting a riot as well. The juvenile is another one of the individuals with a gunshot wound who was taken to the hospital and is also in critical condition.
Now, it is important to note that North Carolina juvenile privacy laws prevent the disclosure of any identifying information regarding a juvenile offender accused of an act which would be a crime if committed by an adult. And the North Carolina age for a juvenile is 16 and under. Police also identified and charged a third suspect, Kayvon Bostick, 17, from Concord. He is being charged as an adult with accessory after the fact and inciting a riot. Keevon Bostik was not hurt and was arrested shortly after the shooting.
Two 17-year-old gunshot wound victims were also taken to the hospital.
However, police said that both were released from the hospital on Friday night. According to police, as of Saturday evening, the two suspected shooters remain in the hospital. There has been no update on their condition as of right now, with the Concord Mayor, Bill Dutch, saying in a statement, We are a close-knit community with a proud history. The Concord Christmas Parade is and always has been one of our most beloved traditions. We are a resilient community and will not let the senseless actions of a few individuals steal another tradition.
tradition from us.
Some families may choose to stay home, and we understand and respect their decision. We also know that many find comfort, harmony, and healing in our community and our parade and what it has provided for our city for nearly a century. We remain committed to providing a safe and welcoming experience for everyone who attended. Additional security measures will be in place throughout the event. The Concord Christmas Parade did take place and was a scheduled event.
according to the Concord mayor.
So multiple people still in the hospital this morning. Multiple charges levied. The ages of these individuals are very concerning. 18, 17, another juvenile, very young individuals attempting to shoot and kill each other at the Concord Christmas Parade Friday night. We'll continue to track this as we get additional details likely throughout the week right here on the Carolina Journal News Hour.
Turning our attention to some positive news this morning, First Lady Melania Trump and second lady Usha Vance visited Camp Lejeune and Marine Air Corps Station, New River, middle part of last week to meet with service members and their families ahead of Thanksgiving. This is also relevant. It was the first visit for first public appearance for those two individuals together without their husbands, President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. That is the first time.
10 months into the administration. Camp Lejeune and nearby, the nearby Marine Corps Air Station are both in Jacksonville, North Carolina, with Camp Lejeune being the largest military Marine base on the East Coast and is a frequent destination for officials meeting with military families and service members due to the size and scale of that facility. Trump and Vance visited Lejeune High School on the Marine Corps base, where they joined students in a small group discussion about artificial intelligence and ongoing research into social media. That conversation aligned with Melania Trump's recent initiative aiming at bringing AI innovation and education into classrooms across the country. Melania Trump also delivered brief remarks thanking families for their service and extending holiday wishes, saying, I want to thank you all, all of you, because you are military families behind our nation's defense, and thank you for your service.
My husband, the president, is sending best regards. We are both thinking of you, and you are in our thoughts and prayers for the holidays every day, but especially for the holidays as well. Earlier in the visit, Melania Trump and Usha Vance spent over an hour at Delario Elementary School. They sat with students as they colored and made crafts and spoke with teachers about classroom programs and support for young learners. The visit concluded with formal remarks in an aircraft hangar before a crowd of service members and their families.
Vance. Ushavance opened her speech by noting the personal sacrifice of visiting the region where her husband served as a Marine. She told the crowd, and that was, of course, military members and their families. For me, quote, it is particularly special to be around the corner from Cherry Point, where my husband JD was stationed. He has told me so many stories about his time in Eastern North Carolina, and that it feels like home.
And of course, only a few days late, but I have a message to all of you from JD Vance. Happy birthday. She went on to discuss her focus on child literacy and school quality, referencing uh to her visit to the base's school earlier in the day, telling the crowd gathered, Today I've had the privilege of spending time with your families at an elementary and high school on base. At a time when children around the country are struggling, it is uh so heartening to see thriving schools and engaged students. Melania Trump spoke next, emphasizing concerns about artificial intelligence in both the military and in the classroom.
telling the crowd gathered uh late last week, AI will alter war more profoundly than any technology since nuclear weapons. To win the AI war, we must train our next generation. For its America students who will lead the Marine Corps into the future, Lejeune High School demonstrated today that it is ready to lead. She closed her remarks by expressing gratitude to service members and military families as the holiday approaches, saying, As Thanksgiving approaches, families across America will come together, but for many of you, someone you love will be serving far from home. Please know that everybody in the nation is thinking of you, praying for you, and deeply grateful for your service.
To every service member, thank you for standing, standing watch so that others can celebrate in peace. And to every military spouse and child, thank you for your strength and love on your service and your country. The joint appearance highlighted the administration's attention to military families during the holiday season. It also underscores the future of artificial intelligence and education, both that are themes for Usha Vance and Melania Trump. We've got some additional coverage of their visit to the Jacksonville, North Carolina area late last week, both Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station at New River.
Those details over on our website, CarolinaJournal.com. The headline: Meladia Trump, Usha Vance. Visit Lejeune families before Thanksgiving. As the holidays approach, it's time to return to the classics. Flaky pie crusts, perfectly browned butter, and and cookies with just the right texture.
and one ingredient you cannot compromise on is kerigold butter. Carrygold butter is crafted with milk from grass fed cows that graze on lush green pastures across family farms in Ireland. The result? A rich, creamy butter with a high butterfat content that elevates every recipe. Whether you're making signature shortbread or browning butter for a nutty depth in your pecan pie, Carry gold makes all the difference.
The flavor is unmatched, and the texture it brings to baked goods is simply divine.
So, this holiday season, if you're baking for loved ones or just for yourself, Reach for Kerry Gold. It's the butter of choice, and your pies, your cookies, and your cakes will thank you. Uh It's 522. Welcome back to the Carolina Journal News Hour, News Talk 1110-993 WBT. As we continue our attention to western North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene and all of the destruction left behind, Carolina Journal had the opportunity to speak to Trey Rabin, who is the president of ATT North Carolina.
And while he knew that Hurricane Helene was going to be bad, with the company positioning crews ahead of time in western North Carolina, he and the company had no idea the level of destruction the storm would leave behind in its wake. He told the Carolina Journal: I have worked in this industry and for Bell South slash ATT for over 25 years, and I have seen a number of hurricanes that have impacted our state, but nothing like this. It was completely unprecedented. Rabin talked to Carolina Journal about the preparations that were made for Helene, the work involved to get community. Communication systems and infrastructure up and running, as well as improved systems moving forward.
It's also as well about the future with new and improved systems for things like broadband in the western half of North Carolina. ATT, which has been serving the state for over 145 years, serves a good portion of western North Carolina, including the I-26 and I-40 corridors, which intersects US 321. The far southwestern and far northwestern corners of the state are served by smaller local providers. And ATT was right in the middle during Hurricane Helene. They had a team embedded at the North Carolina Emergency Operations Center in Raleigh the morning before the storm hit and pre-positioned network disaster response crews and mobile assets just outside of the projected impact zone.
However, even with those preparations, the company was completely stunned in the aftermath. With Raven telling Carolina Journal, the EOC activated at 7 that morning, and we had folks that were providing our network teams updates throughout the day. I had conversations with the Director of Emergency Management that evening and said as soon as the storm passes, we wanted to be one of the first in to be able to roll out our trucks and assess the damage. The storm didn't pass, however. It just kind of stayed and hovered over western North Carolina, dumping a deluge of water.
The company's crews attempted to access the area using US 321, I-40, and I-26, but signs indicating that the roads were closed were seen everywhere. They told the North Carolina Department of Transportation that they wanted to get in there, but the state agency advised AT ⁇ T that roads and bridges remained impassable because they were wiped out by mudslides. AT ⁇ T then partnered with the state and flew teams in on helicopters to begin to assess the damage and start the very lengthy process of service recovery with Rabin telling Carolina Journal, quote, we literally couldn't count the number of trees. In the number of roads that were wiped out. But we were able to map ways that we could have folks walk into some of the devastated areas.
And they could take an ATV to get as far into those areas as they could, but then they would begin walking. All told, there were thousands of broken poles. We had over 2 million feet of downed and severed cables, cables that were just taken off of poles or wiped out completely. Anything that was in the valley area that was electronic wasn't operational because it was either flooded or wiped away by a mudslide, or there was just no power to provide to those systems or offices.
So the level of devastation we saw was something that I think we have never seen, and I think we'd be hard pressed to see again. He noted that the last time a level of destruction was comparable to this in western North Carolina was over 100 years ago during the 1916 floods. After the damage was assessed, teams from AT ⁇ T went on to work installing temporary lines and cables, brought in satellite-based cell phone services on wheels so that first responders, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, State Highway Patrol, and National Guard could communicate with each other and the rest of the outside world. With Rabin telling Carolina Journal, then we began the process of painstakingly clearing routes so that we could rebuild the core infrastructure to get Western North Carolina back up and running. We began that work in October, and we largely finished it at the end of June 2025.
We will occasionally still get a call to restore service to homes that have been inaccessible, whether it's families that had a private bridge that they had to rebuild across the creek to get back to their homes, or whether it's an area that quite honestly can't get utility poles back up and working, so it's been a Herculean task. The company has restored service and is operating as business as usual, but there was a silver lining in the dark clouds of Helene, with Rabin telling the Carolina Journal, quote, we've increased capacity and coverage across sixty four cell sites.
Some of them are new, some of them have been enhanced to support modern communications. We've also extended fiber to over 15,000 households and businesses that didn't have it prior to the storm. We're not only building back, but we're building back better. And we're doing so in a way that brings many areas into the 21st century in terms of their connectivity. ATT performed the repair work without outside funding.
However, what is perhaps more important were partnerships that the company developed and utilized, including those involving in clearing obstacles to restore service. With Rabin saying, quote, I can point to a situation that we had in Lake Lur. We have a central office there that was critical to wireline and wireless communications across western North Carolina because that was a primary path from Charlotte to Asheville.
So you have long fiber that went into this office. That office was isolated due to the devastation of the flooding in Rutherford County and the almost breach of the dam at Lake Lur.
So we had to rebuild connectivity to that office. With Highway 74 being washed away, company officials identified the next best path for getting there was through the Broad River. They reached out to the state and asked for approval to lay a temporary fiber through the middle of the river. And within 24 hours, they had approval from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality and NCDOT. The approvals helped secure an unprecedented approval, according to Rabin, from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers to put a flexible conduit down the middle of the river, down the middle of the river, run fiber about three miles down the river, out of the river along the roadway, and then crossing the river multiple times to get service back to the central office in Lake Lur. This allowed them to add that coverage in capacity, not just on ATT's wireless network, but other wireless providers that were utilizing fiber going through the central office. Rabin told the Carolina Journal: This was one of just many cases where the state, along with the federal government, removed obstacles or impediments or that they fast-tracked permits or approvals to allow us to restore service. We really saw that for the first three months or so post-storm of that storm. I can't think of any instance where we didn't go back to the state of North Carolina or to the federal government and ask for something and not get it.
So there was true collaboration. Earlier this month, Democrat Governor Josh Stein announced a $50 million broadband recovery program that will provide grants to help Internet service providers rebuild and repair broadband infrastructure destroyed by Hurricane Helene. Rabin said that he would be evaluating that program to see if there was an opportunity for AT ⁇ T to improve its network with grant funding. He said that the collaboration that they saw in western North Carolina is unlike anything that they have seen before, even with damages from Hurricanes Florence, Matthew, Dorian, Tropical Storm Fred, and others.
However, those experiences, he believes, shaped the cohesive nature that had not been previously seen before. You can read some more details this morning about the continued recovery work and the kind of hoops and all of the efforts that ATT had to jump through to get potentially tens of thousands of individuals reconnected in western North Carolina. That story is over on our website this morning, CarolinaJournal.com. The headline, Helene's historic damage spurs ATT to rebuild stronger in western North Carolina. As the holidays approach, it's time to return to the classics.

Good morning to you. We have been tracking a couple of legal stories over the last couple of months here on the Carolina Journal News Hour as it relates to redistricting, some dealing with the North Carolina General Assembly, and as of late, another dealing with a new congressional map drawn by legislative leaders. We have an update on one of those stories this morning to walk us through the latest in the court system. Mitch Kokai from the John Locke Foundation joins us on the Carolina Journal News Hour. Mitch, pretty big decision on going with a redistricting case that started back a couple of years ago.
That's right. This was two lawsuits that were filed in 2023 challenging. The congressional map and the maps for state house and state senate that were drawn for the 2024 election.
Now, while those suits were filed in 2023, the judges overseeing these cases didn't do anything to affect the 2024 election.
So these maps were used last year. And the court ended up having a trial this summer to deal with these challenges against the maps and had yet to issue a decision. The trial finished up in early July, but we were still waiting to see some sort of resolution to this case.
Well, in the meantime, of course, as we know, as you've talked about, the General Assembly redrew the congressional map, shifting some counties between Congressional District 1 and Congressional District 3.
Well, the plaintiffs in both of these existing lawsuits that had been around for well over a year asked the court whether they could file supplemental complaints. Against the new congressional map and just insert that into the already existing controversy. The judges said yes, that would be fine. The legislator defendants didn't even object to it. They said that's fine as well.
What has happened most recently is that the judges Set aside the complaints about the new congressional map and said, we haven't decided yet on that. But they ruled on everything else.
So they ruled on the challenges to state house districts. Challenges to state senate districts, challenges to congressional districts other than the ones that are affected by the new map, which are only District 1 or District 3. And basically, the bottom line is the judges said to the plaintiffs, no. And to the General Assembly, yes. They said that the plaintiffs hadn't proved anything that was unconstitutional or violating federal law in anything that was done with the state house and state senate map and anything done with the 2023 congressional map, reserving the right to say something additional about the new congressional map as it deals with districts one and district three.
So big win for the legislature, big loss for the plaintiffs challenging these election maps. That isn't necessarily the final story here. Because one would suspect that these plaintiffs are going to appeal this ruling to the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. And the Fourth Circuit has at times been more critical of the Republican-led General Assembly and what it's done on election maps.
But at least at this point in the game, Everything else about these redistricting suits is a win for the General Assembly, a loss for the plaintiffs. And the only thing that we're waiting on is a ruling now on the new congressional map. If you had to read the tea leaves based on what the judges said about the rest of the case, it's unlikely they would throw out this new congressional map either, because many of the challenges and complaints made about the congressional map were made in the existing, pre-existing suit that the three judges dismissed. And Mitch, of course, this is relevant because of due to the current time that we're dealing with right now, as we've heard with these new congressional maps. And again, none of this is 100% set in stone, but the courts do tend to look at these dates that have been laid out by the State Board of Elections.
Candidate filing is supposed to open on December the 1st. We're rapidly approaching that deadline.
So, you know, as you just noted, kind of reading the tea leaves on this, if the court is to rule in favor of the General Assembly on these new congressional maps, there most likely will be some sort of appeal, but we could be well into candidate filing by the time something like that happens. Would you say, and would you say it's an accurate assertion to claim that the legal system is not going to try and halt this process if it's ongoing? I would think at this point in the game, it's going to be very unlikely that we would see something that would really jar the electoral process. That even if there's a concern about these districts, it's much more likely at this point and becomes increasingly more likely the later we get into 2025 that nothing would happen that would affect the 2026 election. One of the reasons the judges decided to put out their 181-page order explaining what they did in throwing out these cases, one of the reasons they did it now was they said that both sides talked about the need to try to get some sort of resolution before that candidate filing period opens on December 1st.
Now, even if there's an appeal, it's possible that the Fourth Circuit would say no. The three judges who dealt with this at the trial court level, you got it wrong, and we're going to say that these maps can't be used in 2026. But if that happens, The General Assembly would almost certainly get another chance to redraw the maps, and then you would almost certainly see some sort of delay in the election process because the time is running out for them to do anything before the current candidate filing starts on December 1st. One would expect that if the Fourth Circuit comes in and says you've got to do something different, or if the three-judge panel says something about that the General Assembly got the congressional map wrong, that you would almost certainly have to expect that something will get delayed, at least candidate filing. If not, maybe even the primary itself.
But at this point, looking at where things stand, looking at what the judges have said, looking at what the Fourth Circuit has done on another redistricting case where they were asked to expedite the appeal and haven't even addressed that request yet, it looks as if the courts are not inclined at this point to step in and change the election schedule as it's set out. Mitch, let me ask you a political question here for a second. You have been following, and there's unfortunately been a lot of redistricting lawsuits in North Carolina. It's been going on for quite some time, but really over the last five or six years, we've seen a lot of these cases here across the Tar Heel State. This is now yet another loss for Democrat groups suing the North Carolina General Assembly, the Republicans that have led the GA since 2010.
Do you think we're approaching a period of time where these broad claims of gerrymandering, as we've heard from some other court opinions across the U.S., even up at the Supreme Court, that they're not dealing with this stuff anymore? Do you think we're getting close to a time where we don't see these lawsuits every single time any legislative body across the country draws a map? One could hope, but I would say no. I would say there is a cottage industry of people whose only job really is doing these redistricting lawsuits. And what's going to happen instead of Democrats just saying, oh, no, it's lost.
Let's just go home and try to win elections based on the maps we have, what will happen instead? Most likely is that they'll try to come up with new novel theories to challenge the election maps. as this is moved forward, this is clearly What most people would consider a partisan gerrymandering claim against the new congressional map and against the other maps that were drawn. And basically, as you alluded to, the courts have said we're not going to take up partisan gerrymandering claims.
So, what the plaintiffs are doing is not labeling it a partisan gerrymandering claim. They're trying to use other things that would. Might be seen as unconstitutional without using the language that the courts have already thrown out. And they're trying to be creative with it.
Some of the claims about this new congressional map were malapportionment: that we're far enough away from the census that you're willfully drawing maps that are going to have too many people in some districts and too few in others, and you can't do that because that's unconstitutional. They're also talking about. Penalizing voters because they voted against Donald Trump, and that's attacking their First Amendment freedom of association. The Republican response has been: look, all of this is a partisan gerrymandering claim. Republicans drew maps to help Republicans.
Courts have said that's not something the courts are going to deal with. The plaintiffs are just trying to disguise a partisan gerrymandering claim in different clothing. And my guess is. The smart minds behind these lawsuits will try to think up of other things that might catch a court's attention and might convince a judge somewhere that, oh, yeah, they did get it wrong, it is unconstitutional. Because it's either that or find a new job if you're a redistricting lawyer.
We will, of course, keep an eye on the potential appeals process for some of these maps going back to 2023, and then keep an eye on maybe a decision coming soon on the new congressional map drawn just a couple of weeks ago by the North Carolina General Assembly. We appreciate the information this morning. Mitch Kokai from the John Locke Foundation joins us on the Carolina Journal News Hour. As the holidays approach it's time to return to the classics.
