CHARLOTTE — One person is dead and another is hurt following a shooting Thursday morning, according to the Mint Hill Police Department.
It happened around 7:45 a.m. in the driveway of a home on Auburn Whisper Lane.
Police said a man died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and a woman was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries from a gunshot wound as well.
According to the Mint Hill Police Department, this was an isolated incident between people who were in a relationship.
The identities of both people involved will not be released at this time.
Channel 9 spoke with neighbors who said violence of any kind is unusual for their area.
“You’d think that kind of thing would be happening in a city and not so close to home. The worst thing around here has been carjackings, and my prayers definitely go out to the family,” neighbor Alistair Robertson said.
Police said the investigation into this shooting is active and ongoing.
