Police: 17-year-old boy shot after trying to rob off-duty CMPD officer
CHARLOTTE (WSOC) — The SBI is investigating a shooting that involved an off-duty Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer early Friday morning in south Charlotte.
The shooting happened around midnight at an apartment complex on Waterford Tide Loop off Johnston Road.
Police said a group of people walked up to off-duty CMPD officer Emily Bishop and her husband and tried to rob the couple.
Officials said Bishop fired her service weapon and the suspects returned fire. A 17-year-old suspect was hit and eventually caught while several others ran from the scene.
He had injuries that were not life-threatening and was taken to a hospital, CMPD said.
There were no reports of any other officers being injured.
The same suspects burglarized and robbed another resident at the apartment complex minutes before the shooting.
