- Three law enforcement officers serving on a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and one Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officer 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 three CMPD officers and one officer from the task force who were injured.
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. Three task force officers were pronounced dead at the hospital. One of the injured CMPD officers "fought for his life for several hours before succumbing to his injuries," CMPD confirmed.
The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction confirmed to WCNC Charlotte that two of the killed officers were probation officers on a full-time task force with the U.S. Marshals.
Joshua Eyer was identified as the CMPD officer who died on Monday night. Eyer worked with CMPD's North Tryon Division for six years. The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction identified Sam Poloche and Alden Elliott as two of the other killed officers. Both Poloche and Elliott were 14-year veterans of the agency.
Officers were attempting to serve a warrant on Terry Clark Hughes, Jr., 39, for a possession of a firearm by a felon charge and two counts of felony flee to elude out of Lincoln County, North Carolina.
Officers were shot when approaching the home, according to CMPD. Officers shot back at Hughes, who was killed at the scene.
The CMPD SWAT team and MEDIC's mass casualty unit were among those who responded to the shooting scene. After officers shot Hughes, SWAT negotiated with the others inside the home.
Two people found inside the home were questioned by police. CMPD has not said if they will face any charges. #Crime #News

This was one of those, "I'm not going back to prison and I will fight until I'm dead" situations.
Sounds like a son avenging his fathers death
they told him they weren't going to take him to Burger King. FOAFO
@@johnathanholmes7306what do you mean?
That and maybe “Don’t like me having a gun, even though 2a gives me the right to have one, come and take it”!
They need to change the policy of raiding homes. Although cops feel cool when they get to do this it really puts everyone in more danger. This man shouldn’t have even been out on the streets with his history. The judicial system failed these officers.
Where did you get a home raid from? They were just there to serve a federal search warrant.
Shall not be infringed, what part of that did those 4 dead officers not understand?
@@mr.isaiah1275 a search warrant on a home is referred to raiding a home.
I agree with you 💯 and it's no big secret that they get amped up and excited about doing these kinds of calls.
@@mr.isaiah1275There is much more to this story than we are being told. Between the number of personal and show of force they knew it could turn into a battle. Serving a warrant with a SWAT team is not a common way of serving a warrant. We should all be asking why this guy was on the streets in the first place if he was so dangerous that they needed this many law enforcement officers to serve a warrant. We won't ever be told the real story. It's just tragic 😢
Is it standard procedure to have so many officers to serve a warrant? Something about this story doesn't make sense. What a tragedy 😢
They likely knew he was a big threat. I would have thought they would go in very early in the morning tho.
It was likely a high-risk warrant!!
Felon with a firearm
Please people wait for facts.

The fake tears and expressions from the mayor and media is disgusting. It’s fine not to be an emotional person, you don’t have to do that, it’s insulting
Dont show the actual criminals but make sure you demonize the gun not the people who use them for evil
Shooter was black, which is why his image isn't being shown.
Well the shooter doesnt look like a white supremacist
looks like one of OBAMA's kids
So sick of this lying manipulated media.
Running up in people’s houses expecting not to get shot is wild.
That Part... They didn't take him to Burger King. Dad gone...
@@rebbie2371 That Burger King part, you see it.
Let me guess you got no job smoking weed and newports all day huh? 😂
@@chrissmith8026 why are you bringing your mothers private business into this? Go back to your trailer and fry something bubba.
What are inalienable rights?
Among these rights are the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and the acquiring and possessing of property.
As one person in the comments said...Cops fu@ked around and found out. Why didn't they just leave this man along while he was minding his own business? Another person said Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.
why would you crash into a house with an armored SWAT vehicle if the threat is already neutralized outside of the house in the front yard? 😳😳😳
The whole story doesn't make sense at all. It seems like they sent a lot of people to serve a warrant.
Maybe because there was another individual shooting from inside the house. I guess you missed that piece of information.
Because someone from inside the house had started firing at them as well. That is why they are questioning them.
@@jens6010 oh that’s a good catch, that totally slid right past me. I didn’t even recognize it.
@@stephenstrickland6950 🫡
As usual, when officers get scared, they probably started wildly spraying gun fire all throughout the neighborhood...hitting each other.
Where did you conjure up that BS?
It has happened. Are you saying that it hasn’t?
@@ericw3229 why don't you ask the acorn cop
Let me guess you stay at home all
Day no job,, smoking weed and newports walking up to the store here and there
saying guns kill people is like saying forks make people fat, lol
what comes out of the gun that kills people, just like what you put in your mouth with the fork that makes you fat, lol.
You people are clearly too ignorant to realize you're ignorant. 🤣
So, why did they serve a warrant? Does anyone know why. In few cases, warrants are served for invalid reasons. Why?
He told you he had a felony and had a gun that’s against the law
24 hours later & still no pics of felon Terry Clark Hughes?
NGL this story really isn't making much sense. Did Clark manage to take out 4 officers, or was it the woman and the kid found inside? 2+2 ain't equalling 4 with this...
Somethings off.
Listen again. You both missed the part when he said the suspect was shot and was down in the front yard. As the police approached the downed suspect, they were fired on from someone inside the house. They were ambushed...
Either those cops were not up to scratch, or those females were like Rambo.. .. discuss
Why did cops ambush this house to confiscate weapons??
Cuz they’re idiot that think they’re invincible !! Time to rethink your procedures !! 🥴
With them not saying what the warrant was for I’m betting it was something needless .
Prayers for the family
💙🕯️💙🕯️💙🕯️💙🕯️ he was a felon with firearms.
Absolutely sick these officers were not ready for this fire fight. Somehow i bet things change when it comes to serving felony warrants in that county
What a sad sad day for this Country. Prayers for these families and communities that lost their finest. 🙏🙏🙏🕊💙🇺🇸
Who’s the suspect?
This made no sense and could've been avoided. The department is definitely to blame that neighborhood needs to have complaints rolling in, put everyone in danger.
Heart go out to family 😔
Wow this is so sad,people couldn't even get their babies from school til late
That's life in America 😢
Maybe yours. Not mine.
Its police against the citizens. Whats your bet!$$$$
If you consider yourself equal with terry than you ain’t right you didn’t know him
Guns Fault? Soft on Crime policies and a certain segment of population?
Very sad😢😢
lol why?
He’s 7th of a mile away from the scene. Hmmmm a 7th. Never heard of a 7th.
Im guessing at least 1 was a friendly fire incident the way these guys spray everything out of fear nowadays
Great reporting…..who is the suspect…..useless!
the 2nd news person anounced the suspects name you can see it at 1:37min "Terry Clark Hughes Jr"

Does knowing the suspect help you cope with your population decline? 🤣
Terry Hughes
No more oinks!
🙄🤨
A-hole!
No more convicted felons walking free
🤣🤣😂😂😭😭💯💯💯
Can someone please elaborate what happened? From what I’m getting is the police served a warrant and where shot bye someone else in the house? Was this a no knock raid or something or did the police just go into a house full of people who hate them? I never heard of cops serving a warrant and then getting shot at by other occupants of the house.
To make things worse on TikTok you’ll see most of the comments calling Terry a hero….sickening
Seriously? That's disgusting 😢
Disgusting
He stood on business
Your a terrible human I’ll pray for you
The cops pulled up on them; how is that possibly an ambush.
RIP to those affected.
why did they ambush him? so he smoked pot and owned a handgun he was not allowed to have, years ago he turned his car around to avoid a checkpoint set up by cops. he missed his court date. ummm... is that all?
why didnt they have a cop arrest him at the grocery store ?
THERE'S GOT TO BE MORE TO THIS STORY. THEY DONT HAVE MILITARY STYLE AMBUSH FOR THAT IN THE USA.
years back i heard ex Texas DPS / DEA assistant Barry Cooper talk about police related raids....95% are completely unnecessary while 99% of the swat type raids are overkill...Just like the overkill back in 93's with the Waco ATF raid (leading up to the OKC bombing) they called the local media to tag along, and then had a huge number of armed officer for one simple possession of dangerous weapons charge (for wish they forgot to bring the lawful warrant, and also didn't investigate that the group were weapons whole-sellers with proper ATF paperwork(they never disclosed that till outside groups later investigated)....this guy would have been arrested a million other safe ways...from what post are reporting online they guy works daily etc...can they not arrest him safely as he walks into work or something? no need for the gung-ho behaviors ,....not sticking up for the killer - but we all know deescalation should be taught as much as the 47 ways to kick in a door
Ambush? Isnt that what the cops were doing in the first place?
They are not prepared for this ?
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Diversity is our strength!
An un-called remark ' Good Tuesday morning '. What is good about it?
Why not arrest the felon on the street? Just like Waco, could have arrested David Koresh on the street. Stupid.
I just seen cops afraid to go into a active school shooting, another one firing off clips a acorn and doing battle rolls, this doesn’t surprise me one bit. But seems like something happened other then what they are saying happened if that make sense 😮
Its unfortunate but if you are going to go after people with guns then sometimes people are going to fight.
They fucked around and found out
When they say they're looking for evidence with their early mean is they're looking for a video footage of them ambushing him and shooting 1st because they shot first
Were you their no ship your mouth boy
Attacked
My hearts go out to each officer and their families for their tragic loss.💔
😂. What about the guy that was murdered in front of his family?
@@jameshenderson4668he deserved it. Full 🛑🕯️💙🕯️💙🕯️💙🕯️💙
@@jameshenderson4668 Nobody cares
@Willieb-hi6yt . Just like I don't care about the officers and their families
@@eduardosanchez1767 You misunderstood my comment... but that's not surprising
Did they take into Burger King?😮😮😮

You can see usa is not good as polis.
