CHARLOTTE — One man is facing charges in connection to a shooting outside a Food Lion in North Charlotte, police said.
Timothy Pride, 50, was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon and discharge of a weapon into occupied property.
One person was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries as a result of the shooting, MEDIC said.
Channel 9’s Glenn Counts was at the half-mile scene that stretched from the Food Lion off West Sugar Creek Road to a nearby neighborhood.
One witness told Counts that the victim was a Food Lion employee.
The victim’s car bumper was torn from the vehicle. Police were marking evidence across the scene, including numerous shell casings.
Witness said the man was shot inside his car, which ended up in the intersection of David Cox and West Sugar Creek Roads.
One shopper, Sheila Tyler, told Counts that the incident started in the parking lot.
“The young man who was parked beside us, and we heard somebody across the parking lot screaming and yelling, sounded like a woman,” she said. And then the girl was like, ‘Be careful.’ So the guy parked right beside us, he got out of his car screaming and yelling, and then when I came in, the people outside said they heard bullets and everybody ran around the building.”
Police were seen interviewing multiple witnesses to determine who was responsible. In the meantime, many shoppers have arrived at the store to find it closed.
The scene stretched onto Yorkford Drive and down Brownes Ferry Road.
MEDIC said one person was shot on Yorkford Drive and was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. MEDIC told Channel 9 that these were two different patients but could not confirm if they were related shootings.
No additional details have been made available.
