fyra poliser döda i skottdrama i usa

Flera poliser har dött under en insats i Charlotte i North Carolina i USA.

Fyra poliser har bekräftats döda och ytterligare flera har skadats i ett omfattande skottdrama i staden Charlotte i den amerikanska delstaten North Carolina, bekräftar polisen.

– I dag har vi förlorat några av våra hjältar som bara önskade att hålla vårt samhälle tryggt, säger lokalpolischefen Johnny Jennings vid en pressträff.

Till en början meddelades att tre poliser hade dödats, en siffra som skrevs upp till fyra natten till tisdag svensk tid.

Även en misstänkt gärningsman dödades i skottlossningen.

Skottdramat inträffade när flera polisenheter i Charlotte Mecklenburg genomförde en omfattande sökinsats i området och påträffade en efterlyst man vid ett hus. När de närmade sig mannen för att gripa honom utbröt skottlossningen, som enligt grannar i området pågick i flera minuter. Efteråt hittades den misstänkte gärningsmannen död.

Ytterligare två personer fanns i det aktuella huset. Personerna togs in för förhör.
