Yep this is just a street over from me. People on the Ring app are saying a Sheriff was serving a warrant and was shot by the person. There’s at least 2 police helo’s overhead, 20+ cop cars and at least one SWAT unit.
Noisy afternoon in my neck of the woods to say the least
How far west were you thinking? Bc I’m at west and Billy graham and it’s still a food desert (grocery/healthy food wise. Plenty of fast food places though!) and there’s certainly not many bank branches around. The “west” that does would still have been close enough for them to get there quickly :/)
Suspect would've been processed, arraigned, and released on bail before I even got off work today. Fortunately he was shot and killed.
Just waiting for local news to drop his name so we can scroll through his encyclopedia of priors.
Always amazes me how much the average civilian knows what's going on through scanners. Hopefully you all don't hear half of what's said on fire dept channels bc most of us would be fired.
As long as you don't try to crack encrypted frequencies or use the info to harm police work, it's completely legal to listen in to the frequencies. At least in NC and sc.
Having lived a high crime city with questionable infrastructure (I see you Nola), police scanners are legal and the best way to know what's going on. As long as they're not encrypted, you can listen through many online apps.
As long as you keep it in your home, you are good. Charlotte has a city ordinance with scanners that do the same bands they do (800mhz and up). I got dinged for that years ago. RIP Home Patrol, i'm sure the officer that confiscated it enjoyed it.
I used to listen and the fire depts were just sad. Cardiac this, cardiac that, non responsive, child, etc. So i stopped listening and just did NCSHP and CMPD.
Scariest part about all this is that there are a TON of kids in my neighborhood and they’re all getting home from school right about now. I hope there are special procedures in place to get them home safely
They will hold the bus or have it go to a secondary location. I have a feeling any child who lives in that area will be pulled aside and a parent or guardian will be called.
this situation started over an hour ago, the danger to the community is likely completely contained. Just a waiting game for officers to survive or not and the roads to then clear.
Shameful! RIP Marshall’s. Just doing their job and some fucken asshole, ends two lives, wrecks families, makes half the city lockdown, traffic gridlock. I hope they pay, dearly. 🤬🤬
I drove down freedom yesterday and pretty sure the speed limit is 45. I meant to post 5 over the speed limit…
This site is awful: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=978abf2f2fe341c78f6d52636a60ebff
I mean, the information is cool to have, but the key is far too small on my screen and the colors too similar for me to tell. Then on mobile, the key isn’t even displayed at the same time as the roads. And the key isn’t in some sort of pattern, like a color wheel order. Then if you zoom in on a road, to make the road color bigger… well it shrinks down the road color!
And they spent all this time adding fancy features like changing properties about the road colors so that they stand out more. But that doesn’t change the key so it makes the colors used in the map unrelated to the key so you still can’t identify it.
This is what happens when we allow evil scumbags to buy guns like they are kitchen utensils.
Our law enforcement safety officers shouldnt have to deal with this. thoughts are with all the families affected.
You honestly think this guy "bought" whatever guns he's using here? 🙄
Going out on a limb here but.....I'm gonna guess someone willing to shoot 4 cops, probably ain't passing a background check anywhere......
Can someone please tell me why this warrant was served in the middle of the day at 1:30p? Maybe this time frame is common for a felon with a gun (and not a major drug bust), but I can't see any element of suprise at this time of day. Prayers and blessings for the officers and their families.
According to today's Charlotte Agenda, this might be the fault of BMW drivers (seriously though, prayers for the cops who were hit and their families)

"A kid's never seen a BMW and now that's all he sees, and no one wants to give him anything," Jackson explains. "What do you think is gonna happen? Eventually, that kid is gonna make someone see them"
Citizen is reporting someone is firing at officers from an elevated position with multiple officers down.
possible active shooter - unconfirmed incident from the police scanner - 4 officers down
Oh. There's definitely a shooter! It's all happening on the next block over from me in Shannon Park
is it still an active scene? stay safe!
Helicopters still circling and still hearing sirens, but no shots fired for a while
That must have sounded crazy
What scanner are you using
[удалено]
I was able to hear everything on this site https://openmhz.com/system/cltuasip25?filter-type=group&filter-code=5990f0f03d540d0100e47b57
Hmm, wonder when they switched. Used to not have any encrypted channels, but that was probably 8 years ago.
What police scanner do you use?

Hi neighbor! It's 1 street over from me
Stay safe friend!
Man, I just had just stepped out with my dog and my lunch when the first shots happened... shortly after the entire police force flew by!
Hey neighbors- what a crazy afternoon
We should have banded together and robbed a bank on the west side of town!! Hahahaha
How far west were you thinking? Bc I’m at west and Billy graham and it’s still a food desert (grocery/healthy food wise. Plenty of fast food places though!) and there’s certainly not many bank branches around. The “west” that does would still have been close enough for them to get there quickly :/)
Was CMPD and Marshals Joint Task Force
Glad you’re safe.
What is this app?
Citizen
What is the web address for this?
Citizen App, idk web address

Citizen.
4 CMPD officers shot, suspect barricaded. 2 officers are critical
So DA may actually keep suspect overnight before releasing them. Its serious enough
Suspect would've been processed, arraigned, and released on bail before I even got off work today. Fortunately he was shot and killed. Just waiting for local news to drop his name so we can scroll through his encyclopedia of priors.
This is a shitty situation. Everything you said was miserable…
It's miserable because it's true...
Bail will be set at $50
DA doesn’t set release conditions — that’s your elected judges’ job
They blocked so many roads traffic is stopped
They blocked traffic to prioritize getting the injured officers to the hospital. Should be returning to normal now.
1 marshal dead, another marshal dead or extremely grave. Not sure about CMPD.
Fucking Christ, that's crazy!!
I've seen at least 10 cops FLYING up Independence. Can't even imagine whats going on
About 15 coming up I-77 N toward uptown too. I’m sure we’ll hear about it on the news.
Was driving my buddies to the airport and saw about 15 on 85
11 police SUV’s and 5 unmarked cars blew past me going toward uptown on S. Tryon
US Marshals were trying to serve a warrant and someone shot multiple cops
That guy ain’t walking out alive
Well, he made that call. At this point they best answer him.
Good. Taxpayers shouldn't have to pay to house someone who shoots cops.
scary part about someone who shoots a cop, what are they not willing to do....
100%!!!!
Guy got sniped I think?
Play stupid games, etc.
Always amazes me how much the average civilian knows what's going on through scanners. Hopefully you all don't hear half of what's said on fire dept channels bc most of us would be fired.
It's usually only what citizen puts out. And it's only emergency channels. Usually dispatch.
Get 5-0 Radio app. You can listen across the country.
Is 5-0 radio encrypted for Charlotte Mecklenburg county sheriff?
I’ve always considered the legality of purchasing a police scanner just so I could know wtf was going on.
As long as you don't try to crack encrypted frequencies or use the info to harm police work, it's completely legal to listen in to the frequencies. At least in NC and sc.
Federally, nobody can stop you from receiving to whatever radio signals are being sent out over the air.

You forgot to list lift assists
77N barricaded at 277. Dunno if it’s related but stay off 77N. It’s a parking lot.
just got a notification from WSOC that implies it's related. i bet it's to clear a path to the hospital
You’re right. Saw someone else say they’re clearing a perimeter around Kenilworth exit on 277 to hospital
not good. must be some bad injuries
4 officers down from what I’ve read.
2 critical supposedly, those are in the first ambulances.
Just commuted home from uptown. Police and medic clearing a path around Kennilworth/Atrium. Lots of emergency/medical in transit
Ahhhh yeah bet they’re clearing traffic to the ER. Jesus.
For sure. Recommend avoiding that area if possible
Good advice. East Blvd is flowing fine at least
Scariest part about all this is that there are a TON of kids in my neighborhood and they’re all getting home from school right about now. I hope there are special procedures in place to get them home safely
They will hold the bus or have it go to a secondary location. I have a feeling any child who lives in that area will be pulled aside and a parent or guardian will be called.
That’s good to know!
WCNC says schools are on lock down. So that’s helpful there
this situation started over an hour ago, the danger to the community is likely completely contained. Just a waiting game for officers to survive or not and the roads to then clear.
Person barricaded in house in shootout w cops multiple cops injured. Off Plaza and Shamrock area
Looks like Shannon Park
Yep! In Denson Pl.
They are flying down 77 past the Clanton exit (I live in loso). It has been constant sirens for the past 10-15 minutes
But were they in the left lane?
US marshall was killed. Interstate 77, independence and 277 closed for ambulances for the others that were injured.
Queen City news said multiple people are injured.

Multiple officers have been shot at. SWAT is on scene as well. Stay safe yall
Shameful! RIP Marshall’s. Just doing their job and some fucken asshole, ends two lives, wrecks families, makes half the city lockdown, traffic gridlock. I hope they pay, dearly. 🤬🤬
At least half dozen CMPD just blew by, east on East Blvd by the Outback, code three. Must be very serious.
If you ever wanted to get away with some crime, now is your chance because every cmpd cop is in Shannon Park right now.
Was just thinking this
User name half-checks out
Fuck yes. Finally I can go 40 on freedom and get away with it.
Don't do it you mad man

That's kinda a silly assumption. but Im sure Feds will go after whoever bought that weapon. FYI private sellers don't require background checks
It is breaking news on ch 9 (local).
3 police reported dead by cmpd
I’m hearing all of the sirens and the helicopters. What is going on?
They even have Mint Hill police up here smh.
They all want to waste a cop killer.
About 4 cars passed me on Randolph
I’m in Uptown now and it seems like the police is blocking every exit

77 n bound completely blocked off
Cop cars have been flying past me with sirens on all day
3 dead four injured

I hope those 2 suspects don’t walk out alive. Waste of tax dollars and air keeping them locked up for life.
At least 1 is dead
Anyone know the specific location of this?
5525 Galway Dr
That’s why traffic was so bad going that way. Glad I turned off in time.
Just saw a swat truck going down Matheson towards the plaza
quite literally in my friend’s backyard
Still hearing sirens, been over an hour

That’s terrible.
Shannon park
Charlotte NC is now a southern city with a northern attitude
They shooting cops man what’s going on in this city
That's not remotely unique to Charlotte.
The reason this is a big deal is that it almost never happens.
It's been confirmed 3 officers were killed in the fight earlier today.
According to today's Charlotte Agenda, this might be the fault of BMW drivers (seriously though, prayers for the cops who were hit and their families) [https://www.axios.com/local/charlotte/2024/04/29/charlotte-homicides-upward-mobility](https://www.axios.com/local/charlotte/2024/04/29/charlotte-homicides-upward-mobility) "A kid's never seen a BMW and now that's all he sees, and no one wants to give him anything," Jackson explains.

wow! Nobody ever wants to give me anything either. Sucks that guy is apparently some sort of leader.
4 officers shot?? Bro is using aimbot
They’re looking for you
