Suspect shot and killed by police after deadly shooting, kidnapping in northwest Charlotte

A violent crime spree that left one person dead and two others wounded ended with Charlotte police fatally shooting a suspect who kidnapped a woman and fired at officers during a car chase on Thursday, authorities said. The incident began around 4 p.m. when officers responded to reports of multiple shots fired on North Hoskins Road near Brookshire Boulevard in northwest Charlotte. Police found two people wounded by gunfire, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings. Both victims were transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. One later died, while the other remained in critical condition Thursday evening, Jennings said. Police are investigating the shooting as a homicide and assault with a deadly weapon. Shortly after, officers responded to a nearby home invasion and kidnapping. The suspect forced a woman into a vehicle and fled, Jennings said. Officers located the vehicle and pursued the suspect, who fired at police during the chase, striking multiple patrol cars. The chase ended when the suspect crashed at the intersection of Freedom Drive and Morehead Street. The suspect fled on foot and continued firing at officers along Morehead Street, Jennings said. Multiple officers returned fire, killing the suspect at the scene. A firearm was recovered. The kidnapped woman was able to escape after the crash and was found safe. She is cooperating with investigators, Jennings said. No officers were injured in the shooting, though four were transported to a hospital for precautionary evaluation and are receiving peer and mental health support. Some of the officers involved were in the training phase, Jennings said. LATEST: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/loc...
