A Charlotte, North Carolina, shootout that left three U.S. Marshals Task Force officers and one CMPD officer dead and four other officers injured on Monday has left residence in shock.
"There were just an enormous amount of gunshots and people in our yard and people hiding behind vehicles. Firemen hiding behind firetrucks. It was wild," a neighbor who wanted to be identified only as Sarah told Fox News Digital. "It's really tragic. Those folks go to work every day to protect us." "It's a fairly safe neighborhood. Lots of families." Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for Fox News Digital and FOX Business. Email tips to audrey.conklin@fox.com or on Twitter at @audpants.
Sarah said she and her husband heard more than 50 gunshots in the middle of what was an otherwise average day.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings confirmed during a Monday press briefing that the suspect whom police were serving the warrant on and who fired initial shots at officers was "deceased in the front yard at the end of all of those."
