CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -The suspect accused of opening fire at a comedy club where comedian Craig Robinson was scheduled to perform has been charged.
The alleged gunman, identified as Omar James McCombs, 36, faces five counts of assault by pointing a gun, one count of discharging a firearm within an enclosure to incite fear, one count of possession of a firearm by a felon, and other charges, reports WSOC-TV.
McCombs is accused of opening fire inside The Comedy Zone club. Employees at the club reportedly said McCombs waved a gun around as he ordered people to leave.
