CHARLOTTE — Police are investigating a violent event at a house in north Charlotte Friday morning.

MEDIC said responded to a call for an assault at the 5600 block of Hewitt Drive just after 10 a.m. on Friday.

They took one person to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Neighbors told Channel 9′s Erika Jackson they heard up to a dozen gunshots, but CMPD hasn’t confirmed whether the incident was a shooting.
