According to Major Anthony Thompson, deputies were called to an address on Shannon Road around 5 p.m. Wednesday. Thompson did not give the specific address.

Deputies found Roger Ray Hunt had been shot in the neck area. His injury did not appear to be life-threatening, Thompson said, but EMS did take Hunt to a local hospital.
Thompson said detectives believe Hunt had gone to the Shannon Road address to help his daughter leave after her boyfriend, Raylynn Bell, had assaulted her. Detectives believe Bell shot Hunt while the two were in an altercation.
Bell was booked into the Robeson County Detention Center with a $50,000 secured bond.
