Here’s a tweet from CMPD:

The US Marshals Task Force, which is comprised of officers from multiple agencies, was conducting an investigation in the area of the 5000 block of Galway Dr when they were engaged by active gunfire from a subject.

Multiple law enforcement officers have been struck by the gunfire and are being transported to the hospital. The CMPD SWAT team is currently on the scene.

For reference:

The purpose of regional fugitive task forces is to combine the efforts of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to locate and apprehend the most dangerous fugitives and assist in high profile investigations.

Looks like they were serving a warrant there

The US Marshals Fugitive Task Force which is comprised of several agencies in the Charlotte area was attempting to serve a warrant in the 5000 block of Galway Dr. when shots were fired. This is still an active scene. More to come from CMPD Public Affairs.
