A meeting between management, student tenants and their parents at an apartment complex near UNC Charlotte that's seen multiple recent shootings on the property became heated last night, ending with students storming out after feeling like their concerns were not being met. Many of the students who attended the meeting at University House apartment complex were reportedly requesting to have their leases terminated after two recent shootings and dozens of criminal complaints over the span of five months. University House management said they would be contacting students individually about their concerns. (Scott Wickersham, WSOC)
