Four law enforcement officers were killed and four others were injured during a standoff with a man who was wanted on warrants out of Lincoln County on Monday, investigators said.
Three law enforcement officers serving on a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and one Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officer were killed Monday after being met with “active gunfire” from a suspect inside an east Charlotte home. A total of eight law enforcement officers were shot, including three CMPD officers and one officer from the task force who were injured.
The suspect was identified as 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes Jr. The U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force was attempting to serve multiple warrants against Hughes at a home on Galway Drive in east Charlotte when they were met with "active gunfire," according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police. Hughes was shot and killed during the encounter.
Two other people were found inside the house after Hughes was killed, according to police. It's unclear if they will face charges related to the incident. CMPD hasn't identified either person.

This horrific event that I was very disturbed because these hardworking men lost their lives for our safety. Please God provide their families and loved refuge and strength. I can’t grasp how these men lives were taken just like this. I grieve with their families and love ones. This is a senseless tragedy

Keep in mind: The very same people that are running their pill chewers about this are the very same people that said they would do the very same thing if the very same authorities came to take their guns. 🤣

If it's got to the point he's such a violent and dangerous person he can't own a gun like everyone else in America then why is he not in prison?

God be merciful to those who lost loved ones in the line of duty recently. Please carry them in their grief-stricken state as you carried us and cut their suffering short in righteousness. Let Love of Life prevail in their hearts and minds. Make a way through to tomorrow where there seems to be none. Cause Your great grace, YHWH, to abound and abide in their home in spite of this awful event. Cradle and comfort the children. I ask this in Jesus's precious name. Amen

People don't get it. Without police in our country it would be chaos, killings, rapes, kidnapping, robberies and anything else you name it I am very sorry for the loss of four officers and my sincerest condolences to the families and to all the US marshals and the police in the CMPD Also they don't get paid enough for this. I hope all officers get paid better
