The Robesonian is reporting the following:

LUMBERTON — The man who shot and killed Lumberton police officer Jeremiah Goodson this morning is in custody, according to Lumberton police Capt. Johnny Barnes.
Goodson, who was off-duty, was shot at about 11 a.m. while serving a warrant for the man’s arrest. Goodson was struck more than once, but no one else was injured, Barnes said.
At 2 p.m. today, Barnes was not ready to release the name of the person suspected of killing Goodson.
Goodson had arrived at the Shell station at 5030 Fayetteville Road when he recognized the man, who was sitting in a vehicle, Barnes said. He called the Police department, and another officer came to assist in the arrest. As the two officers approached the man’s vehicle, the gunman opened fire, striking Goodson more than once, Barnes said.
The assisting officer held the man at gunpoint, and he was taken into custody, Barnes said.

Officer Jeremiah Goodson

Thank you for your service Officer Goodson and my thoughts and
prayers are with your family and friends.
