According to police, a number of police agencies responded to a report of a man with a rifle in the Lions Gate community off South Tryon Street in SouthWest Charlotte yesterday afternoon. The Charlotte SWAT team was eventually called in and the entire neighborhood was barricaded while officers attempted to get the man inside the home to surrender.
At about 8:30am this morning, the man fired his rifle while officers were attempting to take the man into custody. No injuries have been reported from the shot.
