A person was pronounced dead after an officer-involved shooting in northeast Charlotte Tuesday afternoon, according to police.
The incident happened around 4 p.m. at The Village at College Downs apartment complex on the 9600 block of Old Concord Road. Officers said they were searching for a person with an outstanding warrant when they saw a person get out of a vehicle with a firearm.
When the person got back into the vehicle, the officers approached. The report states the person then got back out of the vehicle “armed with a firearm and posed an imminent deadly threat to the officers who subsequently fired their weapon striking the subject.”
The officers said they immediately requested MEDIC and began performing CPR. The person shot was then taken to Carolinas Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased.
Police said a firearm “the subject was holding at the time of the shooting” was recovered at the scene, and that detectives were interviewing witnesses to the incident.
The officer who fired the shot has not been identified, but a police source told WBTV he is African American.
A woman claiming to be the daughter of the man shot live streamed the scene on Facebook for more than an hour after the shooting.
In the video, she said her father was unarmed when he was shot.
She said he was sitting in his vehicle reading a book and waiting for the school bus to drop off his son. In the video, she is heard saying police came up to the man, yelled for him to get his hands up and broke open the car window.
She claims he was Tasered and then shot four times. In the video, she said the man was disabled, didn’t have a gun and was even scared of them.
