The CMPD told the Charlotte Observer the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, made up of multiple agencies, was attempting to serve the warrant when it engaged in gunfire with a subject.
At presstime, the department said the scene is still active the SWAT team is on the scene “and continuing to work through the incident.”
WSOCTV reports sources said two officers were shot in their legs and one was shot in the chest. It’s not clear if one of the shot officers was the deputy U.S. Marshal who was reportedly killed.

Officers are treating the investigation as a barricaded suspect situation.
Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter: “I am deeply saddened by the shooting that occurred that involved Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers and US Marshals today. I ask that all Charlotteans keep them, the other injured officers, and their families in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.”
