The shooting began when the U.S. Marshals Task Force attempted to serve a warrant for firearm possession by a convicted felon, police said. The U.S. Marshals Task Force was then "engaged by active gunfire from a subject," according to authorities.

Felons will have guns... probable at a higher rate than average civilians.

Best guess, Blacks drugs.... imagine those in house with the one suspect the news is talking about were probable firing too. Been wrong before, but saying some of those suspects were just teens, I am gonna stick to my guesstimate.

Four members of law enforcement have now died as a result of a shootout with armed suspects while serving a fugitive warrant in Charlotte today. RIP.
Sadly, has to be one of the deadliest days for law enforcement city’s history.
