‘We lost heroes.' 3 US Marshal Task Force officers killed, 4 CMPD officers hurt, 1 critically, in east Charlotte shootout
2024-04-30
The shooter, Terry Clark Hughes, cut down in his prime. The most he accomplished in life was to be dangerous.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) — Three U.S. Marshal Task Force officers were killed, and four Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers were hurt during an east Charlotte shooting, which stemmed from a fugitive warrant operation on Monday afternoon.

At least one shooting suspect was found dead at the home after clearing the scene, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police. A second suspect was identified and taken

"Today is an absolutely tragic day for the city of Charlotte and the profession of law enforcement," said CMPD police chief Johnny Jennings. "Today, we lost some heroes that were out just simply trying to keep our community safe."

Residents, along with anyone in the area of the neighborhood, were asked to avoid the area as active gunfire was ongoing for hours. At 4:56 p.m., CMPD said the area was safe. The situation began around 1:50 p.m. along Galway Drive near Denson Place.

#20  "Police believe two shooters may have been involved. They said two persons of interest, a 17-year-old and a woman, were taken to the police station for further investigation."

The initial reporting says Hughes died in the yard, but that there were suspected shooter(s) inside the dwelling. More to follow but perhaps there is more to the story.

#17  If that's his picture he looks more like North African than African-American, and I would have guessed his name was MoHamHead rather than Terry.

#16  My understanding is Secret Service and FBI don't think much of DEA and ATF "agents."

You may not be interested in tribal savagery, but tribal savagery is interested in you - or more specifically your stuff.

#4  I have no business being there. They have no business being here. Sounds racist, but perhaps we deny the 'design' at our own peril.
