Shooting rattles Broome High, scatters students
Leon G. Russ, Hometown News

The joy of a blowout win was followed by panic as gunshots rang out just outside the doors to the Broome High School gym following the completion of the Broome Chesnee basketball game on Thursday night, February 11.

Panicked students ran down the hallway, screaming,  “he’s got a gun, he’s got a gun” and “someone’s been shot.”

Broome High School head basketball coach Hal McManus shepherded his players into the locker room and then took off on a run down the hallway located  behind the Broome stands shouting, “Where’s my daughter, where’s my daughter?”

Reaching the end of that hall,  he made the right turn into the hall through which the public enters the gym and discovered 21 - year - old Robert Lee Moore of 11 Thurgood Marshall Road, Spartanburg lying  just outside the gym’s inside double doors.  Moore was stating he’d been shot although there was no blood to be found.  Moore picked himself off the floor and went to the men’s room with some friends to examine his left leg and found no blood or bullet lodged in him.

Moore was hit in his upper left thigh and the only visible trace was a knot that had formed on his thigh where he had been hit.

For the rest of the story, see this week’s Spartanburg County News and Chesnee Tribune.
