On Sunday MEDIC and CMPD said they were responding to reports of a shooting near the mall just before 2 p.m.
The around 2:45 p.m., MEDIC said they were treating two patients with non-gunshot-related injuries and no gunshot victims were found at the scene.
Police said a dispute between two people outside of the DTLR led to a single shot being fired.
However, no one was struck by gunfire, according to police.
Police also told local media that mall security was on duty at the time of the shooting, however, they were not near the location where the incident occurred.
After the shooting incident he mall was evacuated and closed and would remain so for the rest of the day.
On Monday, CrimeStoppers circulated photos of three African American suspects involved in a shooting incident. One wearing a "G-STAR" hoodie.
Less than two months ago, the mall was closed early after a fight between two people ended in gunfire. Two people were shot, including a bystander. Three people were arrested. In March 2021, a juvenile was charged with the attempted murder of another youth following a shooting inside the mall.
The Mall has been in receivership since 2021 and was expected to be sold this week but those plans have been put on hold.
The Mall released the following statement regarding this recent shooting:
“The safety of our guests, tenants, and employees is our highest priority. As you are aware, our security teams are on site 24/7; we work closely with our partners in law enforcement and are prepared to respond to a variety of events. While specific details of our security plans are not publicized, most are visible to our guests and shoppers while other measures are behind the scenes. Thank you to both our security detail and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department for their ongoing preparedness and professionalism. If you have any questions on this specific incident, please reach out to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.”
The current cluster fuck at CMPD is that we have too many managers and not enough officers. There are sgts managing one officer.
ReplyDeleteGive the governor a harumph!
DeleteWow, Northlake dying. Eastlake long dead. Carolina Place on life support.
ReplyDeleteAny common denominator? Just a question.
Don’t forget the outlets…..they have to go somewhere when the others close up shop.
DeleteSouthPark isn't much safer. Anyone who goes to such a target rich environment is a sitting duck. At least at NorthLake, you know it is Mogadishu. At SP, unsuspecting white women and sadly men too, are robbed loading bags into their trunks, or have their wallets and purses taken in the parking decks. NorthLake will make one heck of a year-round Spirit Halloween soon.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for the poor Chikfila owner who worked their tail off for the chance to own a franchise, and ends up with that one.
They shut down the Taco Bell at Northlake, but kept the chicken place.
ReplyDeleteWell.. If you have Chicken and Watermelon, they will come!
ReplyDeleteSomeone tried to fight me at the Chipotle at Northlake for cutting in line.
