In a tragic incident in Charlotte, North Carolina, four law enforcement officers were killed, and four others were injured during a gunfire exchange at a house where authorities were serving a warrant.
The suspect, who fired at the officers, was fatally shot on the house's lawn, and two other individuals inside the home were later taken in for questioning. While police mentioned the possibility of multiple shooters, it remains unclear. Condolences for the officers poured in from various communities and the White House.
The incident unfolded around 1:30 p.m. when officers with the U.S. Marshals Task Force went to serve several active warrants against 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes Jr. for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and two counts of fleeing to elude, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. Hughes, armed with a "high-powered rifle," fired upon the approaching officers, injuring several of them. As more law enforcement arrived at the scene, the gunfire continued, striking additional officers. Authorities eventually shot Hughes, who was pronounced dead on the scene. At least 12 Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers fired their weapons during the incident and are now on paid administrative leave.
After the shooting, negotiations with other individuals in the home began, leading to the eventual use of armored vehicles to seize the house. A semi-automatic AR-15 rifle, a .40-caliber handgun, and additional magazines and ammunition were found at the scene. Two women exited the house and were brought in for questioning. Chief Johnny Jennings of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department confirmed that investigators are not seeking any other suspects or persons of interest in the case.
Eight officers were shot in total, four from the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and four from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. Among the deceased officers were three task force members, Sam Poloche and Alden Elliott, who had served with the state's Department of Adult Correction for 14 years. Poloche is survived by his wife and two children, while Elliot was married and had one child. U.S. Marshals Deputy Thomas M. Weeks Jr., 48, of Mooresville, North Carolina, also lost his life in the incident. Weeks, a husband and father of four, had been a 13-year veteran of the Marshals Service. Additionally, Joshua Eyer, a six-year veteran of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, succumbed to his injuries after hours in the hospital. Eyer was married and had a 3-year-old son.
President Joe Biden expressed condolences for the fallen officers, calling them "heroes" who made the ultimate sacrifice. He emphasized the need for increased support and resources for law enforcement to combat gun violence.
