7-14-25: Shooting Presser; Bokhari Files

Tune in here to this ​Monday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the recent mass shooting in uptown Charlotte and the CMPD press conference that followed. Six people were shot, one fatally, in what police described as a “chaotic” and “brazen” event. Jensen, fresh from the press briefing, expressed frustration over the lack of details shared by police, despite the seriousness of the incident. He notes that seven guns were recovered at the scene and that two suspects were arrested—one in the morning and another later that afternoon. However, CMPD officials declined to provide specifics on how many people were involved, how many shots were fired, or whether the suspects knew each other. 

Later, Jensen interviews Krista Bokhari following her official filing for Charlotte City Council District 6. In the exclusive conversation, Bokhari explains her decision to run, citing public safety, transparency, and a lack of balance on the current council as her top concerns. She criticized city leadership for staying silent after a recent uptown mass shooting and expressed frustration with repeat offenders remaining on the streets. Bokhari emphasized the need for someone to champion CMPD and work with state leaders to reform issues around bond-setting.
