By Erik Verduzco and Peter Smith, Associated PressMultiple law enforcement vehicles respond in the neighborhood where several officers on a task force trying to serve a warrant were shot in Charlotte, N.C., Monday, April 29, 2024.
A second person then fired on officers from inside the home where a high-powered rifle was found, Jennings added. One other member of the task force, which is made up of federal agents and other officers from across the region was injured.Four Charlotte-Mecklenburg officers who responded to the scene were also shot while trying to rescue the wounded officers. One of them remains in critical condition, Jennings said.
“A lot of the questions that need to be answered, we don’t even know what those questions are now,” Jennings said less than four hours after the shooting. “We have to get a full understanding of why this occurred and also uphold the integrity of the investigation.” Rissa Reign was cleaning her house when she heard the first shots ring out. There was a pause, then a second set of shots and then a third. She stepped outside.
Police urged people to stay away from the neighborhood and asked residents to remain inside their homes until the all clear was given.
