Two police officers killed; No arrests made yet:
It’s no secret that I live in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. It’s also no secret that I’m a big supporter of police since I come from a family of decorated police officers. So it broke my heart when I read the local paper this morning that two officers from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department were killed in the line of duty overnight.
Officers Sean Clark and Jeffrey Shelton responded to a disturbance call at the Timber Ridge Apartments on Barrington Drive near Milton Road and East W.T. Harris Boulevard. Both officers were shot while struggling with a suspect. Neither officer had fired their weapons. Both died later at Carolinas Medical center.
CMPD says that no one has been charged in the slayings but they are interviewing people of interest. Also, they are looking for two men but descriptions have not been released. CMPD will be holding a press conference at 5pm EDT.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends, families, and colleagues of Officers Shelton and Clark.
