Members of the CMPD's Homicide/Assault with a Deadly Weapon unit are investigating after a man was found suffering from head trauma in northeast Charlotte this morning. Police did not originally know the cause of the man's head wound when he was found at around 1:30 a.m. on the 4400 block of John Penn Circle and rushed to the hospital. He was later identified as 34-year-old Gary Bynum and medical staff found that he was suffering from a gunshot wound. At last word, he remained in critical condition at Carolinas Medical Center.

A 55-year-old woman was killed in a one-car wreck on Brookshire Boulevard after she reportedly ran off the road and struck a large pole for a street sign indicating an upcoming I-85 interchange. Medic pronounced Regina Strange deceased on the scene. Speed and alcohol are not believed to be factors in the wreck, according to CMPD, although witnesses said Strange drove onto the shoulder several times before crashing. The cause of the crash is still under investigation. (Ryan Pitkin)
