Police in North Carolina say numerous law enforcement officers have been struck by gunfire in Charlotte.
Officers from several agencies in the U.S. Marshals Task Force were carrying out an investigation when “a subject” began firing at them, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department saidThree officers on a U.S. Marshals Task Force serving a warrant for a felon wanted for possessing a firearm were killed and five other officers were wounded in a shootout Monday in a suburban North Carolina home, police said.
Four Charlotte-Mecklenburg officers who responded to the scene were also shot while trying to rescue the wounded officers. One remains in critical condition, Jennings said. Several armored vehicles were on nearby lawns and driveways of the older suburban neighborhood of a tree-lined street with brick homes. A shattered window, blinds torn, was in a street and a entire doorway was leaning against of one of the vehicles.
