Criminal related perhaps, you know the scum you almost invariably take sides with during any interaction with LEO.

Terry Clark Hughes Jr. is the 39-year-old suspect who opened fire at the scene where four law enforcement officers in Charlotte, North Carolina, were shot and killed on April 29, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police.

Hughes was not the only shooter, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said in a news conference. “When they approached Hughes,” officers “were met by gunfire and returned the gunfire, striking” Hughes, who was found deceased in a yard, Jennings said.

He was in critical condition earlier. It's so annoying to learn that another officer died because of this scumbag.

At least 4 families are missing a son, husband, father, etc due to the actions of a piece of shit.
Very sad.

Yet people who "have their mind right" can commit nearly any crime and pay no price. If history is a lesson, then the vast majority of armed government employees will follow orders when push comes to shove.
You think there are "R"s left, maybe a few, other than that its a uniparty....why when serving a firearms warrant they don't have some of those many LEOs strategically positioned with rifles behind their vehicle engine blocks I don't know...

Makes you wonder if all the LEOs on scene had kevlar / bulletproof on??
Seems to me this should have been based on the number of LEOs that were part of the operation.

Shooter looks like a prison convert Muslim, so this will be out of the news cycle quick, because it certainly doesn't fit the Brandon regime's narrative. Remember "Stop AAPI Hate?" That fizzled out quickly too, when it turned out that everyone who was randomly attacking Asian people were all black.

Guy appears to be a scumbag based on his arrest record.

Terry Clark Hughes' criminal history

North Carolina state records show Hughes was convicted of breaking and entering in Person County, which is north of Raleigh-Durham, in 2010. He spent approximately six months in prison before being released in May 2011.

Hughes was arrested in June 2012 after a high-speed chase in Alamance County, which is east of Greensboro and west of Raleigh-Durham. Deputies said Hughes led them on a chase at speeds over 100 mph after turning around to avoid a checkpoint.

At the time, he was wanted on several warrants in numerous counties for failing to appear in court. He spent nearly a year in prison for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and speeding to elude arrest.

Hughes was arrested by CMPD on multiple drug charges in May 2021. He was also charged with fleeing or eluding arrest with a motor vehicle. He was released from jail hours later, records show.

Court records show many, but not all, of the charges out of Mecklenburg County were dismissed. There are three pending orders for arrest tied to the remaining charges, including possession of marijuana, fleeing and eluding arrest and possession with the intent to sell or deliver marijuana. Those arrest orders, generally, suggest Hughes failed to appear for a court date.

District Attorney Spencer Merriweather stopped prosecuting many drug crimes in early 2021 as the pandemic bogged down the court system.

Court records show Hughes has a pending case from late 2021 out of Person County for possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of marijuana. A warrant shows the Person County Sheriff's Office found Hughes with a handgun on him. Court records show he failed to appear for a court date on those charges in February 2023. That same day the courts issued an order for arrest that remains outstanding, according to the clerk's office.

Charlotte Mecklenburg Fraternal Order of Police President Daniel Redford said the suspect's record speaks to the heroism displayed by law enforcement Monday.

"These men and women who all responded to this incident yesterday were courageous, because they knew what they were getting into and still showed up anyway," Redford said. "[The suspect is] where he belongs. I quite frankly don't have anything to say about him other than he deserves everything he got."

Elected leaders, meanwhile, asked the community to come together.

"I am deeply saddened by the shooting that occurred," Vi Lyles, Charlotte's mayor, said on X. "I ask that all Charlotteans keep them, and the other injured officers, and their families in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time."

Lyles was among the many public officials who reacted to Monday's shooting.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper also traveled to Charlotte to speak with the families of victims and officials.

I vehemently supported Derick Chauvin and the other cops that were there when George Kirby overdosed, if you'll recall. I supported the cop in Ferguson that shot the "hands up, don't shoot" guy. Hell, I support the guy who just arrested the NY scumbag for keying a truck in FL.

I also support our government not violating the natural, God given, and constitutionally protected rights of the citizenry, especially the equal justice under the law part. Look at how the lady NY D.A. was treated after fleeing a traffic stop, vs. how this now dead **** was treated after turning around to avoid a police checkpoint, something that's illegal in Texas, because it's unconstitutional. Not equal treatment. If I was driving in N. Carolina, I would consider turning around to avoid a police checkpoint, too, because they're wrong.

You've also had a front row seat to see how conservatives, pro-America folks, Trump and his supporters, etc. have been abused by our own government, while at the same time, watched the blm/antifa, and now the pro Muslim terrorist assholes run wild with virtually NO consequences. That shouldn't be OK with you.

News report here say that 4 cops dead now. And still no pictures- so I suspected that the perp was black. I have to come here to get that confirmed, which it was, post #22.

Such a sorry state of affairs this country is in.

Everyone of the people responsible for letting this scumbag back out on the streets time and time again should be tried for the murder of the LEO's that lost their lives at his hand. The public cries about firearms, but you look at this record and wonder "how was this guy running free after all of the firearms possession violations?"
