WCCB Charlotte's CW May 4, 2021 GASTONIA, N.C. — Nearly three years after a woman was shot accidentally by a Gastonia Police Officer, she says a bullet fell out of her body while she was cleaning her house. 31-year-old Brittany Lynn was shot by Gastonia Police Officer Stephen Whisnant back in 2018, while the officer was investigating a noise complaint. Police say the officer was trying to serve a warrant on Lynn’s brother. But, according to authorities, Whisnant accidentally fired his weapon, striking Lynn in her breast. The Gaston County District Attorney later announced no charges would be filed against the officer.
