CHARLOTTE, NC – Two people were shot, but expected to survive, while partying at a club with famous rappers T.I., Jeezy, and Yo Gotti. “Preliminary information and evidence gathered on the scene indicates that an unidentified suspect fired several shots from inside the club striking the two victims,” Charlotte police said. “This is an ongoing, active investigation.”
The shooting occurred at the Label nightclub, which is part of the Music Factory Complex. The events were a series of parties celebrating the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s recent basketball tournament.
The nightclub issued a statement on the shootings:
