Charlotte, North Carolina - Multiple police officers were struck by gunfire during a U.S. Marshals Task Force investigation in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday afternoon, according to police.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department reported that "numerous" officers were shot at the scene in the 5000 block of Galway Drive, which is in the Shannon Park neighborhood. The shooting began when the U.S. Marshals Task Force attempted to serve a warrant, police said.
The U.S. Marshals Task Force was then "engaged by active gunfire from a subject," according to authorities. As of 3:35 p.m., the situation was still considered active and multiple victims were transported to local hospitals.
"Avoid the area," the police department said. "Many roads are closed for faster ambulance transport. Please cooperate with authorities."
At 2:23 p.m., police confirmed that a SWAT team was on the scene. Police urged residents to stay inside their homes.
"CMPD SWAT team is on scene and continuing to work through the incident," the X post read. "This is still an active scene. Please avoid the area."
It's unclear exactly how many officers were injured or what their conditions are. On Monday afternoon, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper confirmed that his office was aware of the shooting.
"I am in contact with law enforcement concerning the tragic shooting in the Charlotte area, and we have offered state resources to help," Cooper wrote on X.
Residents in the 5000 block of Galway Drive are urged to stay inside.
