CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Two people are fighting for their lives following a shooting in north Charlotte. It happened around 5:30 Friday evening on Stroud Park Court. MEDIC says both people who were hurt were taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Their names have not been released.

Neighbors say a third person also got hurt. Another neighbor, who did not want to be identified, tells WCCB that gun violence is not normal in their neighborhood. She says, “It’s Memorial weekend. Families are home trying to enjoy the holiday. And then you hear all this noise. You know, how can you come out of your house thinking you’re safe? It’s not right.”
