So very sad and senseless!  What I mean to say is the officers losing their lives is sad!

‘We lost heroes.’ 3 US Marshal task force officers killed, 4 CMPD officers hurt, 1 critically, in E CLT shootout (wbtv.com)

It was the lead store on CBS news and, of course, it's getting coverage  here in Charlotte.

So shocked. Unbelievable, horrific, and tragic. 😔

That’s horrible.

I would not have wanted to be the neighbor whose house was used for cover either. Yikes.

That linked article was very difficult for me to follow. I did read the story on CNN and yes it is horrific. So so sad to think 4 men won’t be going home to their families.

Oh it looks like a 4th officer has died tonight.

My heart breaks for the families of the officers.

Good to know you found a source.  I went back to the link here and it loaded fine.  That is a local affiliate. Yes, sad! That's what I kept saying over dinner last night to DH.  These men have wives, children, girlfriends, family, friends and the list goes on.

Yes, me too!  Mr. Weeks had a wife and 4 kids.   How on earth - so many hows.  Money.  Children.  Etc.  

The funeral for CMPD officer is tomorrow.
