CHARLOTTE, NC — A teenager, shot in the foot during a robbery attempt in east Charlotte. Β CMPD is trying to track down the shooter.

“It bothers me because I thought this was a safe neighborhood, you know, nothing has happened in over 10 years. Β Nothing like that,” said east Charlotte resident Andres Barrearas.
The teen is recovering. Β If you know anything that can help cops find the shooter, call Crimestoppers at 704-334-1600.
