CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department has taken a woman with a gun into custody after she allegedly fired at least one shot near the Epicentre in Uptown Charlotte Monday morning.
Around 6:45 a.m., officers responded to Trade Street and College Street and were told a woman with a rifle had fired her weapon at a security officer.
Police closed roads and evacuated the area as they negotiated with the woman. Within an hour, police were able to take the woman into custody.
No one was injured in the shooting. WCNC Charlotte's Richard DeVayne saw police officers loading the apprehended woman into an ambulance.
Pictures taken at the scene by WCNC Charlotte's Richard DeVayne showed dozens of officers, some of which had their own weapons drawn.
CMPD said none of their officers fired any shots.
A witness told DeVayne he saw the woman with a gun, which may have been concealed under a blanket.
Police could later be seen interviewing that same witness.
