A double manslaughter at an apartment complex just blocks from UNCC

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Two men are dead after bullets fly during an altercation at an apartment early Friday morning just blocks from the UNC-Charlotte campus.

It was so close to the University, campus police were one of the first responders to a report of a double shooting that happened less than a half a mile from UNC-Charlotte.

Gunfire erupted around 1am, as frantic calls for help came in to the 911 dispatch center from an apartment located at 1736 Forest Side Lane.

When Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers arrived, they report they found two men inside of the unit, both were dead.

Crime scene tape was quickly rolled out and the area locked down as the search for the gunman began.

After talking to witnesses, police later said they were looking for two men, however, this was not a random act of violence.

They said the two suspects were let inside of the apartment by four people who were already there.  That's when the shooting happened.

Right now, it's unclear what sparked the gunfire to begin.

A man and a woman, who were in the apartment at the time of the shooting were able to escape with their lives, and appeared to be unharmed.

There is no word as of this point on any arrests, or the names of the gunmen.

Police said more information will be released as it becomes available.

The CMPD is asking for help from the public.  If you have any information that might help in this case, you're asked to call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
