Teacher, Barney Harris, killed in shootout with Mexican drug cartel in Alamance County, North Carolina – ABC7 Chicago

By Thomas A. Smith

GREEN LEVEL, N.C. — A popular Charlotte-area teacher was killed in shootout with a Mexican drug cartel last week in Alamance County, North Carolina, the sheriff’s office said during a news conference Wednesday.

Barney Harris, a basketball coach at Union Academy in Monroe, was well-loved and respected, but Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said, on the side, Harris was involved in the “dangerous and deadly” drug world.

“I can tell you right now, when we are dealing with the Mexican drug cartel, someone is going to die as a result of this,” Johnson said.
