3 officers killed in shooting in Charlotte, North Carolina | LiveNOW from FOX

Police say three law enforcement officers serving a warrant for a felon wanted for possessing a firearm were killed Monday in a shootout at a Charlotte, NC home. Several other officers were injured.

During the shooting, three officers killed were serving together on a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force. Four Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers were also shot. One CMPD officer is in critical condition.

Responding officers who were met with gunfire at the home on Galway Drive returned fire, leaving the initial shooter dead. As officers approached that individual, more gunfire came from inside the home. The residence was cleared after a long standoff. Two people who were inside the home were taken to the police station.

The Police Chief is the only person I have ever known to repeat a question (during a press conference) so we know what was asked before he gives an answer. He is such a professional! My thoughts and prayers to all of those who are impacted by this tragedy.

When you allow criminals to not be held accountable and be on the streets free, mayhem will continue to exist.

The officers took rounds from two people in the house and they call them “persons of interest?” 🙄

Wow. This is becoming a daily story on the news.

It seems like its something more than a mere weapons violation.

This is what happens when you turn a great nation into a 3rd world country! 😢😢

The longer they go without telling us who the suspect is....

Sorry for your loss,
It's especially sad when people don't return home from their work.

That mayor is a loony tune. 8 officers were shot and she is talking about traffic. She didn’t mention about the tragedy until the end. It sounded more like a political speech

[daleschroeder-jmgu]

The worse is yet to come promise🙄 people are out of control these days😵

[edge]

Why do the reporters always ask such stupid questions?

[colt]

So how many times had this “felon” been arrested and put in prison and then released before he did this while reoffending. Be interesting to know how many times they released him back out to commit more felonies

[annstockeryanez]

Don't sit there and lie to us you already told us he had a felony sheet is he illegal in this country

If this country continues the way it's going you're going to lose more than that

[jamesmaxwell]

I would never knock on a door that I knew the person had a gun on the other side.

[krijadtes]

A mayor naming off and giving credit to politicians who are "concerned". Sad low.. She cries because she is responsible.

[LoveLife-kupt]

Mayor talking nonsense seems insincere, officers felt lost

[richardhead]

remember when the mayor said tearing down monuments going soft on crime and renaming streets and bases would solve the violence problem

[steveladner]

People that pull you over to ask if you're carrying a large amount of cash are not here to keep you safe.
