Shots were fired into yet another north Charlotte home early this morning, leaving one of the five occupants with non-life threatening injuries. The home, located on Justice and Statesville avenues, was struck a total of six times shortly after midnight. The occupants — two adults and three teens — were unscathed by the bullets, but one resident was struck by falling debris and reported minor injuries. No arrests have been made and CMPD has not identified any suspects in the case. (WSOC Staff)
Severe weather conditions prompted officials at Charlotte Douglas International Airport to cancel dozens of flights last night, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded at the airport overnight.

CMPD believes that a recent string of burglaries targeting NoDa restaurants and shops may be connected. Following two reported break-ins over the weekend at NoDa’s Crêpe Cellar and Jack Beagles, police responded to Cabo Fish Taco Monday morning to investigate evidence of an overnight burglary. Officers say a man broke into the establishment and was able to remove cash from a register before fleeing.
