CHARLOTTE — Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers arrested a juvenile suspect Thursday following a vehicle pursuit linked to a shooting into an occupied dwelling. The arrest occurred after officers attempted a traffic stop around 9:45 a.m. in west Charlotte.

The pursuit began when officers tried to pull over a vehicle driven by a suspect wanted for shooting into an occupied dwelling. The driver refused to stop, leading to a pursuit through multiple divisions of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

A Department of Transportation camera caught the end of the pursuit at Clanton Road and Interstate 77. Chopper 9 Skyzoom launched and flew to the west Charlotte scene where there were several patrol units, an ambulance, and the car that had crashed on the side of the road.
