An officer-involved shooting that occurred in the University City Division is currently under investigation by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's (CMPD) Homicide Unit. The incident took place on Headquarters Farm Road, where CMPD officers were reportedly attempting to serve several warrants around 4:30 p.m. On this occasion, officers "perceived an imminent deadly threat and discharged their service weapons engaging with the subject," according to the official report disseminated by the CMPD's Public Affairs Division.
Detailed information has not been abundantly released, but it is confirmed that two officers were transported to the hospital with injuries classified as non-life threatening. The suspect was declared deceased at the scene. Following the protocol for such cases, the officers involved have since been placed on paid administrative leave to fully and properly assess the situation. As a part of the customary proceedings, the Internal Affairs Bureau is set to conduct a parallel investigation alongside the homicide inquiry.
As indicated in the official CMPD release, multiple agencies responded to the incident, including representatives from CMPD's Operations Command, Homicide Unit, MEDIC, and the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office.
