Charlotte shooting: Law officers killed while serving a warrant identified

MORE. BOWEN. HOW DID IT ALL UNFOLD? SCOTT DON, U.S. MARSHALS TASK FORCE AND CHARLOTTE POLICE WERE IMMEDIATELY UNDER FIRE. AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. STATE OFFICIALS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT, REMEMBERING THOSE WHO DIED EARLIER THIS MORNING, JOSHUA AYER WITH THE CHARLOTTE-MECKLENBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS DESCRIBED AS THE OFFICER YOU WOULD WANT ON YOUR TEAM. THE POLICE CHIEF SAYS OFFICER AYER RUSHED IN TO HELP A TASK FORCE AGENT WHO WAS UNDER FIRE. SAM PAULOS AND ALDEN ELLIOTT BOTH SERVED IN THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ADULT CORRECTION. PELOSI WAS MARRIED WITH TWO CHILDREN. ELLIOTT ALSO HAD A WIFE AND A CHILD. DEPUTY U.S. MARSHAL THOMAS M WEEKS JUNIOR WAS A 13 YEAR VETERAN OF THE DEPARTMENT. HE WAS MARRIED WITH FOUR KIDS. FOUR OTHER OFFICERS ARE BEING TREATED FOR GUNSHOT WOUNDS AND ARE ALL EXPECTED TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY. THE WARRANT WAS FOR TERRY CLARK, HUGHES JUNIOR. CHARLOTTE PD COULD NOT SAY WHETHER THE HOUSE BELONGED TO HIM OR WHY HE WAS THERE. POLICE SAY OVER 100 BULLETS WERE FIRED AT THE SCENE. HUGHES JUNIOR WAS KILLED DURING THE STANDOFF. GUNSHOTS WERE FIRED FROM MULTIPLE AREAS FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE. THE POLICE CHIEF SAYS THIS LEADS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A SECOND SHOOTER. THE BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE THAT I'VE SEEN AT THIS POINT, WE ARE TRYING TO LOCATE EXACTLY WHEN THAT INDIVIDUAL WAS DOWN AND WHERE HE WAS. WHEN HE WAS DOWN. IT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN FIRING ADDITIONAL ROUNDS ON THE GROUND. WE JUST DON'T KNOW RIGHT NOW. BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH ALL OF THAT AND MAKE A DETERMINATION ON WHETHER THERE'S ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL THAT WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED WITH. THE POLICE CHIEF SAYS THAT THERE WERE ALSO TWO WOMEN INSIDE OF THE HOUSE DURING THE SHOOTING. HE COULD NOT SPECIFY WHETHER THEY WERE FRIENDS OR FAMILY TO HUGHES JUNIOR, BUT THERE
