7 cops shot Charlotte

[nitro5x6's]

Got a text from my neighbor. at 0140. He is in Florida on a TDY high risk detail - like he says " same Shit , different day".

The men killed yesterday are all Task Force officers. They all know the potential for injury. He said and I quote " At least they killed the piece of shit back"

Somewhere in Charlotte, there are families grieving the loss of their loved ones. Let's remember that.

We need gun laws that would prevent this felon from owning a gun.

It’s already against the law for a felon to have a gun.

an interesting debate. one that law abiding gun owners will surely lose.

glad you got that text, nitro!

What Quack said about the ambush. My F-I-L is at Novant Presbyterian. They were locked down until 5:00. Apparently, they had to send the wounded LEO's to two different hospitals, which is why the shutdown was so far-reaching.

Glad you heard back from him.

These guys do a hard job already and they know they are going after the worst of the worst. They know what they are up against and 95% of the time, they get the perp with no issue. The other 4% ends up in a standoff and the 1% someone’s loses a life.

It’s a thankless job that we do take for granted on some days. Prayers for the families and the LE community.

Sure seems like they were ambushed or cornered somehow. That is a lot of fatalities/ hits on those officers.

Makes me wonder how the perp knew to be setup and waiting on them.

So so so sad for the fallen officers, families, friends and all the officers that were involved

[Black Bart]

Wife saw something suggesting at least one of the perps had a child as a shield. Hope that ain't the case.

Man was shooting from upstairs. 2 women were also firing.

I was told, several that were shot were trying to retrieve/aid the body of the first officer shot and he was in an open area.
Not saying its 100% accurate but heard it from LEO a few minutes after it happened

Had to go to England to get the perp...

Firearms felon Terry Clark Hughes has been revealed as the suspect who shot at law enforcement officers in North Carolina home as they came to arrest him, after he set off a gun fight that left four officers dead and four more wounded.

The suspect had a lengthy criminal history and was wanted for possession of a firearm by felon, and felony flee to elude out of Lincoln County, before he was shot dead on Monday, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police.

But Hughes was not the only shooter, CMPD Police Chief Johnny Jennings said in a news conference.

'When [officers] approached Hughes they were met by gunfire and returned the gunfire, striking Hughes, who was found deceased in a yard', Jennings said.

Officers then received 'additional gunfire' from within the residence, but it is not yet clear whose bullets struck which officers, and how many cops were hit overall.

The identity of the second shooter also remains unclear as Charlotte cops continue their investigation into the horror gun fight, but they have stated that a woman and a teen, 17, who were found in the home following the shootout are being questioned.

Terry Clark Hughes, 39, has been revealed as the suspect officers were searching for before he opened fire at a North Carolina home, sparking a gun fight that left four officers dead and four more injured

Charlotte police officer Joshua Eyer also died Monday night. He was one of four officers killed

'On Monday, April 29, 2024, an armed suspect opened fire on law enforcement officers in the 5000 block of Galway Drive in the North Tryon Division,' police wrote in an April 29 news release.

'The deceased suspect has been identified as Terry Clark Hughes, Jr, 39,' police wrote. WSOC-TV reporter Joe Bruno confirmed that the mugshot is Hughes Jr on X, formerly Twitter, this morning.

'Four Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers were shot, one of which succumbed to his injuries. Additionally, four officers from the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force were shot, three of which succumbed to their injuries,' CMPD wrote.

Three of the four officers that were killed in the shooting have been identified.

Samuel 'Sam' Polche, William 'Alden' Elliot and Charlotte police officer Joshua Eyer died Monday following the horror shooting as they tried to serve warrant. Both Polche and Elliot were North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections officers working with the US Marshal's office.

The US Marshal killed in the attack has not been named.

The US Marshals Service wrote in a statement on Facebook: 'Our hearts are heavy tonight for the lives shattered by today's horrific shooting in Charlotte, NC.

'We mourn the loss of our Deputy and two Task Force Officers.

'We are grateful for all the support, and we keep the families and colleagues of all officers involved, in our thoughts.'

Major networks this morning said there was no word on the brand and type of gun yet or were there any names of the perp or pictures, although both were readily available. MG

That is generally what happens. It happened a few years ago in Florence I believe when the guy went crazy when they came for his son. Its engrained in us to not leave someone behind, and its just human nature to want to run to aid to someone in that scenario. Its bad all around...

I read this afternoon they found an AR 15 and a 40 cal semi auto handgun in the house. The front of the house was destroyed to gain entry. Preventing felons from attaining firearms is not the real issue here. This Guy should have been is jail long ago for a long time. If justice had been served this murder would have never happened.

You can bet that Soros is behind the Columbia Univ mess. Allll to get young people to vote. It worked for BLM.

This is heavy. I researched more about the warrants being served. The most concerning is the arrest in 2021 for possession of a firearm by a felon where he secured a bond. Two other charges listed in the warrant were for felony fleeing. The other charges on his record by Charlotte-Mecklenburg had been dropped due to them being minor drug charges that they don’t prosecute.

Once again, the system is broke. We see it here in Charleston pretty common as well.
