our law enforcement officers were shot to death and four others were wounded on Monday in a gun battle that erupted while they were serving a fugitive arrest warrant at a house in Charlotte, North Carolina, authorities said.
The fugitive, who opened fire on officers as they arrived at the residence, was himself fatally shot during the gunfight, and two other suspects were arrested after an ensuing standoff, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
A U.S. Justice Department statement said one of the four slain officers was a deputy U.S. marshal.
"Today is an absolute tragic day for the city of Charlotte and for the profession of law enforcement," Jennings said. "Today we lost some heroes who were out to just keep our community safe."
The U.S. Marshals Task Force officers who were killed were attempting to serve a warrant for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. They arrived at a residence where the suspect was located, and he began firing on the officers, Jennings said. They returned fire, and the suspect was killed in the front yard.
Everyone should be very skeptical of stories like this. Are they really going to peacefully take weapons away from the people? Question everything

Possibly a no knock warrant and they didn’t identify themselves

What warrant were they serving that they needed an army that wasn't even paying attention why were there so many cops there that were just had their thumbs up their **** I don't understand why were so many people standing around unaware if it was such a dangerous situation and if it was such a dangerous situation why'd they do it in the daytime with all those people around what was the warrant on what were they looking for who were they after 3 US Marshals that's a significant event
Please know the MAJORITY of Americans love and support our law enforcement. We are grateful for their service and sacrifice. This is so heartbreaking! Prayers for the officers and their families!
