CORNELIUS, N.C. (WBTV) - We’re working to learn more about an officer-involved shooting that took place in Cornelius Friday night.
Officials with the Mecklenburg County ABC Board say the shooting involved one of their officers and happened at a gas station on Catawba Avenue near Interstate 77 around 10 p.m.
Two officers were investigating a crime at the gas station when they came into contact with two other people. One of them brandished a gun “in a threatening manner” toward the officers, representatives with the ABC Board told WBTV.
One of the officers then fired their gun.
