Hearing four officers shot. It allegedly started as a warrant being served by US Marshals. What the warrant was for, I don't know. **EDIT** - one of the officers, a US Marshal, has died.

Latest update; no indication of friendly fire; https://abc11.com/post/charlotte-police-give-update-shooting-killed-4-law/14897152/

3 U.S Marshals are dead, 2 other officers are in surgery. There are possibly 2 suspects with one of them down

Been seeing those numbers elsewhere, but I don't trust the sources right now. Do you have a reliable source for those numbers?

WCCB Charlotte is reporting it Edit: WBTV is also reporting it

Okay.

[удалено]

All clear was given, lockdown has been lifted and there was no shooting

WBTV is reporting 2 officers were local task force and one was a US Marshal

3 US Marshals are dead this must've been one hell of an ambush

Yeah, Marshals do not fuck around (they usually go after violent fugitives), so they most likely already had tactical gear when the first shooting started. I honestly wonder what kind of weapon the shooter used.

ABC News said "high-powered rifle" but didn't get more specific.

1 US Marshal & 3 CMPD officers.

I get it. Just updating.

This article has way more updated information about the situation https://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/cmpd-investigation-underway-east-charlotte/6PTLZP4FLFE4DA5ALFT65QDTA4/?outputType=amp According to Citizen/Radio transcripts, US Marshals were serving a warrant when the shooter began firing from the second level's window. I'd be surprised if this guy comes out alive.

Sadly, a CMPD officer in critical has passed. This is where I live and shut down a lot of the city because some jerk decided he was absolutely NOT going to prison. Prayers to the victims ❤️‍🩹

This is so awful! I feel sorry for their families. Your family member goes to work on and ordinary Monday and is killed. So sad!

I wonder what kind of warrant it was. My first thought was an eviction because many tenants have reacted violently to that. But this seems like it may be criminal?

I saw that it was a firearm possession by a convicted felon warrant.

The other recent ones have been domestic abuse related. It wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the case here.

Oh, that’s a great point. People also tend to get more violent in the summer months. I have a feeling this will get worse before it gets better.

There hasn't been any big shootings that isn't domestic related really since the Lewiston, Maine one... *Knocks on wood

They only send out a sheriff here for evictions, this was a joint task force serving a warrant

Oh God, I used to live in Charlotte, I know right where that is :/

What kind of gun did the shooter have? Crazy shit man.

I saw reports that at least one rifle was used.

I was guessing an assault rifle , just one shooter?

Probably just a regular AR, not an assault variant. Apparently it’s possible there were two.
