CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said it is investigating a shooting in Uptown that happened early Sunday morning.
Officers responded to a call around 5:30 a.m. about a domestic violence-related assault along East Fifth Street, not far from Brevard Street, where a man pointed a firearm at a woman.
Before the police could arrive, according to the statement, a caller told CMPD that gunshots had been fired at the location.
When they arrived, officers learned a security guard fired shots at the male subject, resulting in the male sustaining non-life-threatening injuries.
The police department noted that the security guard is cooperating with the investigation.
This is an ongoing investigation.
