Career criminal loose thanks to Democrat policies kills four officers, injures four more
Four police officers were killed and four more were injured during an intense shootout in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday.
Neighbors caught in the action filmed as the wild gun battle ensued.
Officers with the U.S. Marshals Task Force were serving a warrant for 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes Jr. when the suspect reportedly opened fire on the cops.
Hughes was also shot and killed in the firefight.
The deceased law enforcement officers’ names are Joshua Eyer, Alden Elliott, Sam Poloche and Thomas Weeks.
According to police, two women were found inside the house where Hughes was shooting from, and they’re not currently being charged despite suspicions one or both of them fired shots at officers or assisted the suspect.
Hughes had a lengthy criminal record and was notably “released from jail” just hours after being arrested for fleeing arrest in 2021 due to the Covid pandemic slowing down the court system.
Actor James Woods and many others noted the officers who died are another casualty of leftist soft-on-crime policies.
Americans are becoming increasingly fed up with Democrat-led lawlessness killing their countrymen.
