CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police are investigating after three people, including an 11-year-old girl, were shot in southeast Charlotte early Saturday morning.
The shooting happened just after 3 a.m. at an apartment complex on Oak Arbor Lane, which is in the Grier Heights neighborhood off Randolph Road.
Officers said the suspects were in a common area outside when someone shot into the apartment, hitting the little girl and two adults inside.
Channel 9 spoke to one victim’s father who feared the worst when he got a frantic call early Saturday morning.
“When I first got the call that my daughter was shot two times, I thought she was dead,” the victim’s father said. “Really, I thought she was dead and I ran red lights and everything to get over here.”
