A Raeford man was shot in the head early Sunday at a club in Hoke County, Sheriff Hubert Peterkin said.

Officers were dispatched to McRae's, a private club at 2923 Doc Brown Road, around 1:30 a.m. to investigate a shooting.

Royal Terrance Wyatt Jr., 33, of 750 Gatlin Farm Road, was found dead inside from a gunshot wound to the head with what appeared to be a 9mm handgun, Peterkin said.

Detectives determined that Wyatt had been assaulted by several people before the shooting.

No arrests have been made and the shooting is still under investigation.

I guess the shooter was just standing his ground. Is that not what one is supposed too do?

clubbin aint what it used to be

Nothing good ever happens at a club these days...best thing to do is stay clear of these types of places. There nothing more than a breeding ground for trouble.
