Law Enforcement Officers Are Shot in Charlotte
The shooting occurred when members of a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force tried to serve a warrant and were met by gunfire, the police said.
About 1:30 p.m. this afternoon, the U.S. Marshals fugitive task force went to the 5000 block of Galway Avenue in attempt to serve a warrant on an individual for possession of firearm by a convicted felon. When they approached that individual, they were met with gunfire. Officers returned gunfire and struck the victim, who was later pronounced deceased in the front yard of the residence. As officers approached that individual, they then received additional gunfire from inside of the residence. We were able to clear this residence and confirm that there were two additional people inside. They were both brought to the police station as persons of interest. Tragically, members of the U.S. Marshals task force were pronounced deceased. A total of eight law enforcement officers were shot by the suspects in this house.
