Terry Clark Hughes Jr. is the 39-year-old suspect who opened fire at the scene where four law enforcement officers in Charlotte, North Carolina, were shot and killed on April 29, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police.
Hughes was not the only shooter, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said in a news conference. “When they approached Hughes,” officers “were met by gunfire and returned the gunfire, striking” Hughes, who was found deceased in a yard, Jennings said.
Officers then received “additional gunfire from inside of the residence,” he said. It was not immediately clear whose bullets struck which officers. Police have not identified the other shooter, although two other people are in custody. Police confirmed they believe two people opened fire; Hughes opened fire first, Jennings said.
“On Monday, April 29, 2024, an armed suspect opened fire on law enforcement officers in the 5000 block of Galway Drive in the North Tryon Division,” police wrote in an April 29 news release.
“The deceased suspect has been identified as Terry Clark Hughes, Jr, 39,” police wrote. WSOC-TV reporter Joe Bruno confirmed that the above mugshot is Hughes Jr.
“Four Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers were shot, one of which succumbed to his injuries. Additionally, four officers from the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force were shot, three of which succumbed to their injuries,” CMPD wrote.
Three of the deceased officers have been named; they are North Carolina Department of Adult Correction veterans, Sam Poloche and Alden Elliott and CMPD Officer Joshua Eyer.

Chief Johnny Jennings said around 1:30 p.m., a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force went to serve a warrant for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. They were met with gunfire when they approached the person, Jennings said, so the officers returned fire, hitting the suspect.
The suspect died in the front yard of the home on Galway Drive, Jennings said.
Afterward, the officers were shot at from inside the home, triggering a standoff, Jennings said.

Omg! The KILLER is BLACK !
Bullshit.
Accurate.
“Since the Miami FBI shoot out in 86.”
The Anderson book on the subject has reportedly been sold out. Abe books is asking for copies at $900 each. (Originally ~$90).
I have a few copies available at $50 each.
100% correct.
I’ve met a great many Border Patrol Agents, and they all, to a man (female agents) are another story) patriotic and hard core MEN from the 50’s.
My son was a BP agent got in a gun battle with a smuggler and killed the guy. High fives all around when other Agents showed up. Even HQ dudes were on his side.
Policy required he go to counseling before returning to duty. Some lefty females with a sociology degree met him and as they sat down, she reached under her chair and pulled out a box of Kleenex and said: “now, please tell me what happened.”
She had never dealt with BP Agents before.
My son told her he was trained to respond the way he did, and he did his job and was pleased he wasn’t hit.
The mandatory three visits passed and she did not recommend he return to duty. Recommended another session because my son didn’t demonstrate remorse for taking a life. His BP supervisor said “screw that, your shift starts tonight.”
No PC caving there.
Why is it always the white supremacists?
Please see Post 27 for a different opinion.
BP moral is tanking and Agents leaving under the administration. The ones that stay are mostly wimps that are recent hires expecting to do diaper duty.
They are mostly not real men. The real men are leaving.
lets see 3 names and a jr, they forgot the II or III would have put him above all the rest and made him somebody
That armchair worrier needs to be suited up and put on the front lines.
She would change her tune mighty quickly.
Thanks for posting. Condolences to families and friends of the deceased law enforcement individuals.

The warrant was for possession of a firearm by a felon and evading arrest? Now four officers are dead, shot by an unknown person in the house? I’ve read several stories about this incident and none of them make much sense.

what is the name of the book?
“This is one of the biggest things of that nature since the Miami FBI shoot out in 86. “
Actually, no... there’s this:
From Wiki: “On July 7, 2016, Micah Xavier Johnson ambushed and shot police officers in Dallas, Texas, killing five, injuring nine others, and wounding two civilians. Johnson, a 25-year-old Army Reserve Afghan War veteran, was angry over police shootings of black men. “
Yes. He was amish too.
pong
It’s Charlotte...
