Authorities in Charlotte, North Carolina have confirmed that the man who fatally shot four law enforcement officers with an assault rifle last month acted alone and was solely responsible for all casualties. The incident, which took place on April 29 in a residential neighborhood, resulted in the deaths of four officers and injuries to four others.
The shooter, identified as 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes Jr., was wanted for possession of a firearm by an ex-felon and fleeing to elude in adjoining Lincoln County. When officers from a U.S. Marshals Task Force attempted to serve warrants at a home, Hughes opened fire on them with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.
