CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A crash in west Charlotte ended with a group of men pointing a gun at a good Samaritan, police said.

Officers told Channel 9 three people are in custody and they are looking for a fourth suspect involved in the wreck, which happened around 2:30 a.m. on Billy Graham Parkway at West Boulevard.
