CONCORD, N.C. — The Concord Police Department is investigating a shooting that took place Sunday afternoon.
While the incident took place near Barber-Scotia College, the shooting didn’t have anything to do with the school.
Around 1:25 p.m., neighbors began hearing the unfamiliar sound of gunfire on Crowell Drive SW in Concord.
“I was preparing my Sunday meal. I heard six shots,” said Latoya Archie. “That’s what got my attention.”
Another neighbor, Evelin Chelaayona, said she heard around five to six shots.
“I panicked and I ran to the living room to see what was going on,” Chelaayona said.
Police arrived quickly and for a while, it looked like a possible standoff.
“Me and my dad tried to investigate it and there was some police pointing their guns at the house,” Chelaayona said. “And we didn’t know what was going on.”
Police found one man that had been shot. An officer took him to the hospital.
Police were also able to take a suspect into custody.
Archie has lived in the area for more than a decade and says this incident is out of character for the neighborhood.
“We’re a close-knit street. We also have a Concord police officer that lives on my street,” she said. “We don’t have any issues here.”
Police have not released the name of the suspect, nor have they said what kind of condition the victim is in.
