They are. Charlotte P.D. is NOT investigating the shooting itself. Like in Alabama if any cop is involved in an officer shooting, ABI (Alabama Bureau of Investigations) are automatically called in on the case to make sure there is no b.s. done by the cops or the case/evidence messed with to protect the cop. Not sure what they go by in N.C. though.
