    CHARLOTTE — A proposal allowing people 18 and older to carry concealed guns without a permit in North Carolina will reach the governor’s desk on Friday.

    GASTONIA, N.C. — Only five nursing students in the United States were selected for an internship to join a hospital on the seas. Three of them are local students at Belmont Abbey College. One of those students, Emma Harris, has wanted to be a nurse since middle school. Now, she’s one of the future interns with Mercy Ships. “When I was 11, my cousin was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia, and since we were homeschooled, we were able to see her a lot,” Harris told Channel 9’s Evan Donovan.
