ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. — Police said children spent hours in the cold in the backseat of a car overnight while two dead bodies were in the front seat.
Employees at Barnhill Contracting Co. on Construction Drive in Rocky Mount discovered the bodies around 6 a.m. Thursday when heading into work. Police arrived shortly after at approximately 6:15 a.m.
Officers with the Rocky Mount Police Department believe two people, who were not identified, were shot and killed inside the car right outside the business. They were apparently found inside a Cadillac, according to an employee from the tow company that responded to the scene.
