Administrators Eric Posted April 30 Administrators Share Posted April 30 Damn. "A total of eight law enforcement officers were shot. Three U.S. Marshals were killed and another U.S. Marshal was injured. Four Charlotte police officers were injured, including one who sustained critical injuries. 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."

pipedreams Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Prayers for the families and loved ones. Though the below comment was interesting. "RetiredSquid624 1 hour ago They knew they were going into a hostile and highly explosive situation involving serving a warrant regarding firearms yet it appears they were still not ready for what they faced? There is something VERY wrong with this entire story." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead and in Hell, wounded and in hospital, arrested and released without bail? Dead, although there may have been more than one shooter. I believe a couple other 'persons of interest' were taken into custody, but I haven't heard anything more about that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 We used to arrest some really bad dudes and rolled really heavy, not uncommon for the SUV's to have some full auto options in the drawer. Of course if it isn't in your hand at the time it's useless. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted April 30 Author Administrators Share Posted April 30 I just read that two of the slain men identified earlier as US Marshals were probation officers with the North Carolina Dept of Adult Corrections, serving full time on a US Marshal fugitive task force. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Spicoli Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I did a few warrant services with the US Marshals and one of our guys was assigned to the Task Force. They were all stand up guys that took no chit and we're always willing to help with a request of they could. I can't say that about ATF or FBI. RIP and God bless your families left behind. They have two females in custody. One of them fired from inside the house. The felon died outside in the yard 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Marshals were stand up guys, humble, knew the law, worked hard, no attitude that I picked up on. Yeah, alphabets, mixed bag, some were really good, others were total dirtbags. Secret Service I dealt with were all top notch. Some of the older FBI were really good, learned a lot from them. ATF investigators that showed up at bombings were all top notch, focused and hard working, they knew their stuff and worked long days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a large number of agents and officers with their heart in the right place that are trying to keep the streets safe and even believe in the 2nd amendment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipedreams Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Not trying to 2nd guess anyone, only know what being reported but how did the killer manage to out gun that many officers. Were they simply outgunned, rifle against pistols? Normal vests wouldn't be much protection against a rifle. Never would of happened if the courts were doing their job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
