CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Police said one man was shot during a robbery attempt off Freedom Drive in Northwest Charlotte Thursday night.

It happened near Willard Street and Bradford Street around 9:15 p.m. The man was taken to the hospital, but is expected to survive.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg officers had a hard time controlling the crowd. One officer had to shock a man with a Taser. That person is expected to be okay.

Police continued searching for three suspects in the shooting and robbery late Thursday night, but officers did not have a good description of the suspects.
