Police: Boy, 9, dead, 3 hurt after North Carolina shooting
Police in North Carolina say a 9-year-old boy has been fatally shot and three others have been injured following a shooting at a residence in southwest Charlotte.
Deputy Chief Jeff Estes of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said during a news conference that the shooting happened just after 9 p.m. Saturday while a family celebration was ongoing in the front yard.
The unidentified 9-year-old boy died at a hospital. Two adults and another child suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were treated at the scene.
Estes said: “We have a lot of soul searching to do when as a city, and as a country, a 9-year-old boy isn’t safe playing in its front yard.”
No motive has been determined.
