Three US police officers shot dead in home siege
Authorities said two shooters were involved in the attack.
The injured officers were part of a US Marshals Service-led task force.
The officers were attempting to serve a warrant for a felon wanted for possessing a firearm when gunfire erupted on the suburban street.
They returned fire at an assailant in the front yard, then more shots were fired at them from inside the home, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings told a news conference.
Shots were still ringing out more than two hours after the attack began on Monday in a residential area in the east of the city.
Residents were asked to shelter in place and nearby streets were closed to facilitate ambulance rescues. Several nearby schools were placed on lockdown during the standoff.
On X, formerly Twitter, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department asked people to “steer clear of the area”.
