The State Bureau of Investigation is conducting a shooting investigation involving an off-duty Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Friday, December 27, 2019, at approximately 12:15 a.m., multiple suspects approached off-duty CMPD Officer Emily Bishop and her husband, attempting to rob them at gunpoint in the parking lot of 7920 Waterford Tide Loop Charlotte, NC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officer Bishop subsequently produced her department issued service weapon and fired the weapon. The suspects returned fire before fleeing the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A 17-year-old juvenile male suspect was injured during the exchange and was transported to the hospital. He is currently recovering from non-life threatening injuries. Information and evidence gathered also revealed that the same suspects committed a burglary and armed robbery of a resident in the same apartment complex just minutes prior to the officer-involved shooting incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon his release from the hospital, the juvenile suspect will be charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Intent to Kill on a Law Enforcement Officer, Attempted Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon, Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Intent to Kill and Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The additional suspects currently remain on the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officer Bishop was not physically injured during the incident. She was hired by the CMPD on June 18, 2018, and is assigned as a patrol officer in the Freedom Division. Officer Bishop has been placed on administrative leave which is standard procedure anytime an officer discharges his or her weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the conclusion of the SBI\u2019s investigation, the CMPD\u2019s Internal Affairs Bureau will conduct a separate investigation to ensure CMPD policies and procedures were followed during the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
