Four police officers killed in shootout at Carolina home

#Charlotte:
Four police officers serving an arrest warrant for a felon wanted for possession of a firearm were killed and four other officers were injured Monday in a shootout at a North Carolina home, police said.

Some officers who rushed to the Charlotte neighborhood to rescue the first wave of officers shot down were injured when a second gunman began shooting at them after killing the wanted man, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said.

“Today we lost several heroes who were simply trying to keep our community safe,” Jennings said.

After a three-hour standoff, the house in suburban Charlotte was torn open. Armored vehicles crashed into it, tearing out windows and entire doorways. Several armored vehicles were parked throughout yards, some with branches dangling from them. The US Marshals Task Force was fired upon by the wanted suspect as they approached the house and the man was killed in the front yard.AP
