Dave Oberhart testified that in October, Andros told him that his guide dog had to stay outside because he posed a threat to other customers. Oberhart says he tried to show her the dog's tags, but Andros would not look. He also says the restaurant owner refused to let him use the telephone to call police or to put her refusal of service in writing. Andros testified that at the time, she didn't realize Oberhart was blind, nor was she familiar with regulations concerning guide dogs. The couple died outside the mobile home where the dispute began last evening.
Witnesses say they heard at least five shots.
The teen, who allegedly was shot when he tried to intervene, was taken to Carolinas Medical Center where he later died. The names of the people involved have not been released. Captain Matt Hunter of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department says the surviving son was questioned immediately after the shooting and has not been charged. To call Clemmie Bell Flowe Thompson a long-time University of North Carolina fan would almost be an understatement. For more than 80 years, Thompson was an avid follower of the Tar Heels.
