People who were at party during “CIAA Weekend Takeover” have taken to social media to recount an alleged shooting. It is unknown if the party was an official event sanctioned by the CIAA (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association).

Two men were shot at a club last year after a CIAA tournament.

From The Charlotte Observer:

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police are investigating reports of shots fired at the Label nightclub in the N.C. Music Factory complex Saturday night, city spokeswoman Cynthia Shah-Khan said.

She said the report came in at 7:10 p.m.

Medic said it took one person with minor injuries in the 900 block of N.C. Music Factory Boulevard to Carolinas Medical Center.

The club has released a statement on their website:

Officials at Label are cooperating with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department concerning their investigation of this matter. Tonight’s events at Label will take place as scheduled.
