CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) – At least one school was on lock down for hours Monday morning after police say a female armored truck employee was shot during an armed robbery in the SouthPark area.
According to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police, Loomis Fargo employees were robbed at the Foxcroft Shopping Center early Monday morning, just before 9 a.m.
The location is a small group of stores at Fairview and Valencia Terrace, including Caribou Coffee, where a man walked from last year and was later killed along a neighborhood street. (Click here to read that story)
A previous report of the armord car incident at Fairview and Sharon roads was incorrect.
Police told WBTV that the female employee, 47-year-old Ladena Duncan of Charlotte, was seriously wounded when she shot in the upper arm while she was working on a Wells Fargo ATM at the shopping center.
After Duncan was shot Loomis Fargo employees tried to drive her to the hospital, but they stopped along the way and called for medical help.
According to MEDIC, emergency officials were called to the intersection of Providence Road and Cavendish Court, nearly two miles away from the shooting. Duncan was transported to Carolina Medical Center with serious injuries.
Police say Charlotte County Day School, which is in the area, was on lock down until about 10:45 am as a precaution during this incident.
Officers say they don’t know if the shooter got away with any money.
