‘Reckless, dangerous’: CMPD asks for public help to find car from east Charlotte shooting

CHARLOTTE — Officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department are asking for the public’s help to find a car associated with a shooting in east Charlotte.

The incident happened around 2 a.m. on Saturday morning on Arnold Drive after police got a call for a large party with several armed people. When officers got to the scene, people from the party scattered, but one car stopped and started firing rounds. An officer returned fire, but no one was hurt.

“One officer perceived an imminent deadly threat and shot at that vehicle,” CMPD Major Thomas said.

A viewer told Channel 9 they heard the gunshots and also saw a heavy police presence on their street.
