Soles Shooting Update

The Whiteville News Reporter has published an article saying that Senator Soles shot 22-year-old Kyle Blackburn in the back of his right thigh.

Blackburn told us he was shot as he was leaving the senator’s property, but Senator Soles said he shot Blackburn in self defense as Blackburn was trying to break into his house.

Authorities have never disclosed the location of the bullet entry wound, but if it was in the back of Blackburn’s leg, it would lend credence to his version of events.

It may also help explain the grand jury’s decision to indict Soles on a felony assault charge last week.
