CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Multiple police officers were struck by gunfire during a U.S. Marshals Task Force investigation in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday afternoon, according to police.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department reported that "numerous" officers were shot at the scene in the 5000 block of Galway Drive, which is in the Shannon Park neighborhood. One shooting suspect was found dead, and authorities are currently determining if multiple gunmen were involved.
"At least one shooting suspect was located deceased at the residence after clearing the scene," police wrote on X. "CMPD is questioning two other occupants of the home."
The shooting began when the U.S. Marshals Task Force attempted to serve a warrant, police said. The U.S. Marshals Task Force was then "engaged by active gunfire from a subject," according to authorities.
