CHARLOTTE, NC – Charlotte-Mecklenburg police are investigating after an officer-involved shooting in south Charlotte Friday night. It happened shortly after 5:30 p.m. in the 8900 block of St. Croix Lane. It’s in the Raintree neighborhood, off Providence Road.<\/p>\n

Police say they arrived at the scene to serve an involuntary commitment warrant on a woman who lived at the home. They say a man opened the front door and when officers called out to the woman, she shot them from inside the home.<\/p>\n

One officer was hit in the chest by a bullet, but his bulletproof vest prevented him from being injured.<\/p>\n

An officer fired and hit the woman. She was taken to the hospital with what CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings describes as “critical” injuries.<\/p>\n

The three officers involved were also taken to the hospital to be evaluated.<\/p>\n

A firearm was recovered at the scene and police are continuing to investigate.<\/p>\n

Jennings also says, “This is a good example of why these types of service calls are so dangerous.” He continues: “This is a good time to reflect on how dangerous our work is and how important it is to keep our community safe.”<\/p>\n
