CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) -- The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Fraternal Order of Police is asking local and national leaders for federal assistance in the wake of a deadly attack on public transportation and multiple homicides.
In a letter addressed to Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, North Carolina Governor Josh Stein and President Donald Trump's administration, the local FOP chapter requests federal law enforcement assistance, including the National Guard.
"This request is due to the ongoing failure of city and police leadership to address the severe staffing crisis within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD), which we believe has led to a violence crisis in Charlotte," the FOP writes.
The organization emphasizes that fifteen murders and several shootings with serious injuries have happened in Charlotte since the Aug. 22 deadly stabbing of Iryna Zaruska on a Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) light rail train, a case that has drawn national attention.
Queen City News has contacted those mentioned in the letter for statements.
