Charlotte police officers are being called back in from days off and
vacations after five people have been killed and five others hurt in
shootings during a violent Labor Day holiday weekend in North Carolina’s
largest city.
The dead include a 7-year-old boy killed during a birthday party
around 9 p.m. Saturday in a front yard in southwest Charlotte. Another
child and two other adults were wounded, but their injuries were not
life threatening, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Deputy Chief Jeff Estes
said.
“It’s a sad state of affairs in the city and our country when a
7-year-old boy can’t be free to celebrate a birthday party without being
murdered,” Estes said at a news conference Sunday.
