WATAUGA COUNTY, NC (WBTV) -
Deputy William Mast, Junior was shot and killed while answering a 911 call in Watauga County on Thursday, July 26.
Another deputy shot and killed the man who opened fire on Mast.
Now there is a scholarship fund set up in honor of the fallen deputy, and fundraisers to raise money for that fund.
Chetola Resort and the Blowing Rock Chamber have already raised $1,800 at Symphony on the Lake at Chetola Resort the night after Mast was killed.
On August 8, there will be a silent auction to raise money for the scholarship fund. The auction will be held at the Blowing Rock Fire Station. Bids will open from 8:30 am-7:30pm. Several individuals and businesses have already stepped up to donate items and packages for the auction.
