Samuel ‘Sam’ Polche, William ‘Alden’ Elliot and Charlotte police officer Joshua Eyer died Monday along with US Marshall Thomas M Meeks, following the horror shooting as they tried to serve warrant. Both Polche and Elliot were North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections officers working with the US Marshal’s office.
Some of the officers who rushed to the Charlotte neighborhood to rescue the first wave of downed officers were wounded, as a second shooter began firing on them. Four officers injured, were transported to hospital where three have been treated and discharged, while the fourth is in stable condition.
That shooter opened fire after they killed the wanted man, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said.
‘When [officers] approached Hughes they 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 within the residence, but it is not yet clear whose bullets struck which officers.

The identity of the second shooter also remains unclear as Charlotte cops continue their investigation into the horror gun fight, but they have stated that a woman and a teen, 17, who were found in the home following the shootout are being questioned.
‘Today we lost some heroes who were out simply trying to keep our community safe,’ Jennings said at a news conference.
After a three-hour standoff, the home was torn open. Armored vehicles smashed into it, ripping off windows and entire doorways that were left broken. Several armored vehicles were parked across yards, some with tree branches dangling off them.

The wanted man who had a lengthy rap sheet, opened fire on the officers as they approached the home.
A second person began firing on officers from inside the home and some of the officers who rushed to the scene to rescue the first wave of downed officers were wounded. Officers found a high-powered rifle inside the home.
The suspect was quickly shot dead in the front yard. A woman and a 17-year-old male were found in the home after the standoff. The two are being questioned, Jennings said.
The Marshal’s Service confirmed one of its agents was killed.

One other member of the task force, which is made up of federal agents and other officers from across the region was injured.
Three other Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers who responded to the scene were shot while trying to rescue the wounded officers.
Neighbors said gunfire lasted for several minutes.
A WSOC-TV helicopter captured an armored vehicle driving through yards and knocking over recycling bins before cops loaded a body into an ambulance. However, after the home was cleared, the scene was too graphic and disturbing that the helicopter pilot said he couldn’t show the front lawn of the home.
A GoFundMe set up to “provide support for those officers affected,” has raised more than $62,000 of the $250,000 goal.
