Less than 24 hours after a fatal standoff between Charlotte police officers and a city resident, the cops identified the shooting suspect who allegedly claimed the lives of four officersduring the shootout.
Police identified the deceased suspect as 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes. The shootout marked the last of Hughes’ many run-ins with the law, as he died with a substantial felony conviction record.
Officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department responded to a home in the North Tryon Division Monday afternoon to serve a series of active felony warrants to a male suspect. When officers approached, Hughes allegedly fired at them with a “high-powered rifle,” a department spokesperson said. Officers called for backup and held an hours-long standoff.
Hughes was exiting the home with a firearm when the cops fatally shot him. The SWAT team then negotiated with the two remaining occupants of the home for them to exit the residence.
