Four LE Officers shot dead in N. Carolina while attempting to serve a warrant

May have spoken too soon, but the guy could still be involved in DV.

[QUOTE]The shooting unfolded in the 5000 block of Galway Drive as members of the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force were serving a warrant for possession of firearm by a convicted felon, Jennings said.

Odd that the Feds were involved in this seeing as the warrant was only for a felon in possession of a firearm. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

Yes. I'm a little freaked out in a "good" way, r2, in that it will involve more investigations up the ladder.

Might this be the first mass killing of LE after a Dallas? With military grade equipment from an an adjudicated felon?

You can pick off that many people with one high powered rifle? I was thinking assault weapon.

If only the police had guns -- oh, wait.

It scares me to think there are MAGAt supporters advocating for this:

[QUOTE]A total of eight law enforcement officers were shot during the incident, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said

I saw this on another site, but nobody has any details. They won’t even release the name of the killer.

Reminds me of that dude who blew up his suburban house in Virginia a couple of years ago when someone tried to serve him with a warrant.

We never DID find out why or what the warrant was for. Sounds to me like a lot of these maggot militia types are getting rounded up and they’d rather kill everyone around them than get tossed in the slammer.

R6, tf are you talking about??

Their inherent desire for lawlessness, Steve Bannon style.

Since you missed it if he was a militia type it was Viet Cong:

A Virginia man with a history of rambling social media posts and "frivolous" lawsuits has been linked to the Arlington house that exploded Monday night after police arrived to investigate claims that someone inside was shooting flares into the neighborhood.

Public records show James Yoo, 56, lived in a duplex house on the block shown exploding in eyewitness video.

Police said they were aware of his "concerning social media posts" at the briefing. The posts refer to his ex-wife as a "witch," and anti-U.S. slogans including "#F---AMERICA" and quotes from 𝑵𝒐𝒂𝒎 𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒔𝒌𝒚.

The profile description claims he is a "Former Head of Information and Physical Security for international telecommunication company."

"I gave THEM / Y'ALL every opportunity to 'do the right thing' and all I see is America's hypocrisy, corruption, fraud, conspiracy…" the bio continues.

And as for this new incident I'll guess somebody got disrespected. We'll see one way or the other.

Yep.. Didn't think he would be a 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒈𝒐𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂 𝒕𝒚𝒑𝒆.

Hughes was not the only shooter, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said in a news conference. “When they approached Hughes,” officers “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 inside of the residence,” he said. It was not immediately clear whose bullets struck which officers. Police have not identified the other shooter, although two other people are in custody. Police confirmed they believe two people opened fire; Hughes opened fire first, Jennings said.

Three of the deceased officers have been named; they are North Carolina Department of Adult Correction veterans, Sam Poloche and Alden Elliott and CMPD Officer Joshua Eyer.

Police Say the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force Was Attempting to Serve Active Felony Warrants at a Home When Terry Clark Hughes Opened Fire First

In total, police wrote, “eight officers were struck during the gunfire. The officers were rushed to area hospitals.”

Hughes was being sought for multiple felony counts, including a weapons offense, police wrote.

“Mr. Hughes was wanted for Possession of a Firearm by Felon and Felony Flee to Elude (2 counts) out of Lincoln County, North Carolina,” the release says.

Hughes’ Corrections record in North Carolina says he served 2 years and 3 months for possession of a firearm by a felon as well as speeding, eluding arrest, dating to 2012.

I saw this on the news. Terrible.

More training is obviously needed for LE. This is an unsatisfactory outcome

Thanks, r11. I guess they decided to finally release the details.

What a fucking dirtbag

Horrible situation. I hope the wounded LEO recover fully.

The details really weren't difficult to foresee

How so, r18? You shouldn't hide yourself behind such a gift of clairvoyance.

Is this^ irony?

I've been away from home and much of humanity for a while today. Not very much has come of this or is there a more active thread? It almost sounds like end of times to my little, delicate soul/thingy, whatever.

No information yet, at all? FOUR?

Amazed this story hasn't gotten any traction.

You know why it hasn’t.

Tell us more... Because I can't find jack shit about this story that says anything meaningful. Maybe I'm too overtired and couldn't and you could help.

When the four cops were shot in downtown Dallas, you couldn't escape the news back then.

Is a puzzlement

I don't know anything about how such things work, but it seems like it was excessive to send so many law enforcement to a home just to serve a warrant. So they must have known they would face resistance, or that there was risk involved above and beyond ordinary risk. So if that is in fact true, that they expected resistance, why didn't they deploy their forces more effectively. Once they knew they were under fire they should have withdrew, regrouped and re deployed differently. Something is wrong with this entire exercise. I know. Hindsight is always 20/20. I guess the shooter had them pinned down almost immediately? From the brief video I saw they couldn't move, they were like sitting ducks.

You see, Defacto thinks sll violent crime is committed by black people. Even though most mass shooters are white.

That’s why Defacto posted this story, and why he posts most of the crime/violence stories here. He hates black people and liberals and wants us all to hate them too. So he cherry-picks.

They’ve walked back the 2nd shooter; only one. At least 12 officers opened fire.. Guy was wanted for “possession of a firearm by an ex-felon and fleeing to elude” and had a criminal record for apparently non-violent crimes. Several armored vehicles were at the scene including one used to break down the door.

This was a clusterfuck.

[quote]they should have withdrew

Oh Dear!!

Typical brain dead liberal sticking up for the criminal. Fuck the victims.

Wouldn't be surprised if they thought there was a second shader because one of the officers shot the others in some sort of friendly fire but I'm sure that'll be covered up if true.

R28 or maybe because we've seen similar scenarios where the violence could have easily been avoided if the cops acted more strategically rather than just busting him with guns of ablazing. They left serving leaves no not warrants and I think they get off on charging in when it's totally unnecessary.
