 [WBTV] CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -
The man accused of fatally shooting his girlfriend in west Charlotte is dead after an officer-involved shooting at CMPD headquarters Thursday night.
A police source says the man wanted in the deadly shooting is 23-year-old Jonathan Bennett. Bennett was wanted in connection with the deadly shooting of his girlfriend and mother of his child, 24-year-old Brittany White.
Police said they were briefing in the parking lot between the law enforcement center and the CMPD parking deck, when they were shot at multiple times. Several officers returned fire, police said.
"He ambushed us, he shot at us," CMPD Police Chief Chief Putney said in a press briefing early Friday morning.
An officer was shot and injured in the shooting at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Law Enforcement Center. The officer was shot in the leg and taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
The officer’s identity has not been released.
"Its obvious he knew we were looking for him. Here's what I'll tell you, times like this make you appreciate people who voluntary put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Unfortunately some use that against us," Chief Putney said.
