Google streetview of Galway Drive looks middle-middle-class.
Zillow estimates Galway Drive home prices in the $300Ks, $400K+ area.
Not the ghetto unless Charlotte has nice ghettos where the residents pick up their trash and mow their lawns. Also, as many as 3/7 LEOs reportedly dead, according to some sources. The Bad Guy knows how to shoot.
My guess is a nasty divorce. (I never, ever watch network TV shows, particularly network police/detective TV shows, so I am no expert, and I am probably wrong.)
I am into investigation discovery
The only street sign I saw was for Kildare Drive. Where did you see Galway as the location of the shootout?
Pretty good research. I live here, but a good 10 miles away.
Not the greatest area, but not one where one could make any stereotypes or assumptions. Since US Marshalls were involved, this is some sort of one-off - prison escapee, nasty family situation, possibly a drug dealer.
"The residence on Galway Drive is now clear, and the area is safe. Residents no longer need to shelter in place."
"At least one shooting suspect was located deceased at the residence after clearing the scene."
"CMPD is questioning two other occupants of the home."

Census Tract 15.04, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Only 16% White. Very downscale, as should be expected. VERY low education levels (which is not always a bad thing, but it fits the profile here), 1/4 of the population on welfare, etc.
Mecklenburg County is 44.61% non-Hispanic whites, 29.12% black, 15.23% Hispanic or Latino (a group that includes whites), and 6.43% Asian and other groups have tiny slices of the population.
