A hearing will continue later this morning that could lead to the release of convicted killer Michael Hayes. Hayes fatally shot four people and wounded five others in a shooting spree on Old Salisbury Road in 1988. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and was sent to Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh. According to the Winston-Salem Journal, two Dorothea Dix employees testified Monday that Hayes shows no current signs of mental illness and isn't a public danger. The hearing will determine if Hayes should be recommitted, released without conditions or released with conditions. http://www.wxii12.com/news/23436278/detail.html
