GREENSBORO, N.C. — WFMY News 2 does not typically report on stories regarding suicide. However, we are choosing to because of its public nature and the lengthy impact on traffic.
Three out of five lanes were closed on I-40 East near Exit 135 due to a man threatening to commit suicide on Rock Creek Dairy Road, on Aug. 5.
The Guilford County Sheriff's Office reportedly negotiated with him for over five hours. He was taken to the hospital from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Deputies did not specify his condition.
The lanes were closed from 9:44 a.m. and reopened around 3:30 p.m.
