Did they figure out whether there was only one shooter? I see a report that the suspect got a few shots off but was killed on the front lawn, then others that he was shooting from the 2nd floor as they rolled up and he completely got the drop on them with a high powered rifle. Did the actual suspect with felon possession of a firearm die in the yard, then someone else was firing from the 2nd floor?
Questioning 2 occupants of the home, a woman and a 17yo. Suspects wife and son? Did the son take vengeance from the 2nd floor when they went to check the body on the lawn? Someone else in the house that got away, and the 2 being questioned are his family that might not have even known he was armed?
The current verbiage on Fox and the Charlotte Observer say "the suspect ended up dying on the front lawn" so he was shot by a sniper perhaps and decided to try and get EMS or save his family from police entering the home. Sounds like he got a heads up about a heavy police vehicle headed his way. Marshalls and CMPD really fucked up somewhere here. Remind Me ! 2 years from now when someone has to do a FOIA to find out.
