CHARLOTTE — A shooting investigation early Tuesday had a busy east Charlotte road closed.
Officers were called just before 4 a.m. to the scene on The Plaza near Weldon Avenue.
Channel 9 crews could see crime scene tape roping off the road and a white Cadillac sedan, which appeared to have bullet holes on the driver’s side, flat tires and shattered windows.
