GASTONIA, N.C. — There was a large scene on West Airline Avenue Saturday evening after police were called to a scene around 6 p.m. for an officer-involved shooting.
The incident happened at Jacob’s Convenience Store.
Two officers were involved in the situation. They were not harmed.
There was some kind of confrontation at the store and one person was shot. They were taken to the hospital. As of this time, we do not know what their condition is.
It’s early in the investigation and there are lots of unanswered questions including whether the person shot was armed and if so, what kind of weapon did they have.
The State Bureau of Of Investigation has been called in to handle this case.
Both of the officers have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in cases like this.
