The Hillsborough Police Department announced charges against a Charlotte resident on Saturday after his arrest over a shooting.
A release from police said 75-year-old Stephan Brooks is charged with first-degree attempted murder and first-degree kidnapping after an incident in the early morning hours of Saturday.
According to the alert, police officers saw a woman in distress running across Cardinal Drive — which is off South Churton Street — around 1:30 a.m. After assessing her, they realized the woman had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest. Police said the victim was transported to Duke University Hospital for treatment and, as of Sunday afternoon, is in stable condition.
