How to Help Officers in Charlotte After Monday Shooting Incident
Monday was another day of senseless violence in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Four law enforcement officers were shot and killed, and four others suffered wounds, in the deadly encounter on the east side of the city.
A routine warrant service by a team of US Marshals from the Fugitive Task Force turned into a devastating mass shooting. What began as an attempt to apprehend a convicted felon in possession of a firearm quickly spiraled into chaos when the suspect opened fire on the Marshals and local Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officers.
The initial suspect was swiftly detained, but another individual within the residence seized the weapon and continued the barrage of gunfire on the officers, resulting in a harrowing exchange of bullets. A total of 8 officers were injured as a result of the incident. Sadly, 3 officers with the U.S. Marshals and one CMPD officer tragically lost his life.
