CMPD speak after an east Charlotte shooting that killed 3 US Marshal task force officers and wounded

Three law enforcement officers serving on a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force 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 four Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers who were injured. At least one of those CMPD officers is listed in critical condition.

The officers were serving together on a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force when they were shot while confronting a suspect inside a home on Galway Drive. The officers were rushed to the hospital but died as a result of their injuries.

The shooting suspect also died Monday. Two others found inside the home are being questioned by police.

Officials have not released the names of those involved.

It’s so wild how some people make 1 or 2 mistakes and are locked up for decades, and others make a dozen or two mistakes and are still roaming the streets.

[SuperFan]

Any reason I can’t find a single picture of the suspects? What happened to the woman and 17 year old who killed those officers?

[albertmarsh]

When are they going to keep these people locked up

[Whyusemyname]

Sounds like the police thought the scene was secure but the perps family inside decided they weren’t done yet and opened fire from the house.

[donroos]

They know that the suspect has 21 felonies but amnesia when it comes to who the suspect was?

[jeanreed]

How did they not learn from a recent similar situation to be extremely cautious and expect a suspect to be armed and well defended.

[n.suresh]

Sad at the loss of the law enforcement officers.May their souls rest in peace.The worst part is the criminals have no concern for the damage they cause to society by their actions and the police officers by their selfless acts have made the supreme sacrifice.I hope that lessons would be learnt from this incident.
