Today is an absolute tragic day for the city of Charlotte and for the profession of law enforcement. Today, we lost some heroes that are out to just simply trying to keep our community safe. I'm going to try to go through a series of events of how this all occurred and played out and then tell you a little bit more about uh about the injuries and the things that we had to endure today as a as a profession and as a city. So about 130 pm. This afternoon, the US marshals fugitive task force went to the 5000 block of Galway Avenue. An attempt to serve a warrant on an individual for possession of firearm by a convicted felon. When they approached that individual, they were met with gunfire, officers returned gunfire and struck the victim who was later pronounced deceased in the front yard of the residence. As officers approached that individual, they they then received additional gunfire from inside of the residence. So after a long standoff, we were able to clear this residence and confirmed that there were two additional people inside. They were both brought to the police station as persons of interest and were trying to determine now what exactly occurred inside of the residence. Tragically, there were three members of the US Marshals task force who are pronounced deceased and there were four CPD officers shot, one being in critical condition who is now in the hospital fighting for his life. A total of eight law enforcement officers were shot by this by the suspects in this house. So we are very early in the investigation. C MPD will lead this investigation. Uh We still have a lot to uncover a lot of questions that are not answered right now. So please respect the fact that I won't be able to answer some of the questions that you're going to have. At the same time, we are going to diligent work on this to ensure that, that we bring a respect to these officers and these law enforcement officials that lost their lives today. And this is a good example of what we try to tell people every single day that when we put on this uniform, that we don't have any guarantees that we'll return home. But yet we have a lot of great men and women across this entire country that do it every single day to make sure that you're safe in your communities. So with that, I'm going to turn it over to Mayor Vilas if you want to say a few words.
