Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office sued over delays in issuing gun permits: Tuesday, Nov. 29.

A lawsuit has been filed against the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office over the delays regarding gun-purchase permits and concealed-carry handgun permits.

Grass Roots North Carolina, Gun Owners of America and three citizens are suing Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden, accusing him of obstructionism because of the time it takes the agency to issue concealed carry handgun permits.

The agency maintains it is "in compliance with the law" and has also taken steps to make the process more efficient.

A man has died after a shooting in south Charlotte, police confirmed. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said a homicide investigation is underway at the McDonald's located on South Boulevard near East Arrowood Road.

Police said a person was shot and killed right outside the McDonald’s around 8:30 p.m. Monday. The parking lot was blocked off as the crime scene unit investigates.

A witness told WCNC Charlotte she was next door when she heard a gun shot and saw a man lying on the ground. She said there was another man standing next to him.

Police couldn’t comment on whether an employee was involved or if the suspect and victim knew one another but officials say it was the result of a fight.
