Mooresville police responded to a call to Lake Norman Regional Medical Center around 3:45 a.m. Nov. 8. Hospital staff members told police a man entered the hospital and told staff he planned to harm himself in his car in the parking lot, and they witnessed him putting a gun into his pocket before leaving.
When police arrived in the parking lot, they said they found the 56-year-old man outside of his car holding a gun. Police told him several times to drop the weapon and the man put it on the ground. Police said he then picked up the gun again and “posed a threat to officers.”
An officer fired five times and the man was hit multiple times. He died from his injuries, police said.
