Hostage taking at The Robesonian newspaper

Thirty-five years ago two men walked into a Robeson County newspaper with sawed off shotguns, chained the doors and demanded to speak to the governor. During the 10-hour ordeal, WRAL anchor Charlie Gaddy spoke to one of the men live on the air. Documentary photographer Jay Jennings covered the story that day, and remembers a “surreal” day and story.
