Charlotte Mass Shooting: Who Are the 4 Officers Killed?

They were fathers, husbands, sons and beloved men who died in the line of duty.

Four law enforcement officers are also being remembered for their years of service after they were killed in a Charlotte mass shooting on Monday.

The officials were part of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, which was attempting to issue a felony warrant for 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes, Jr. The suspect opened fire as officers approached.

"Yesterday, I met with some of the fellow officers and heard stories about these officers who lost their lives," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said at a press briefing on Tuesday. "They were good ones. People that you could trust, people who you could count on and people who would risk their lives."

Thomas Weeks

Weeks, 48, was a 13-year veteran of the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS). He served the Western District of North Carolina for 10 years, USMS said in a statement.

He began his career with USMS at the Superior Court in Washington, D.C. in 2011. He transferred to Charlotte in 2014.

The Director of USMS Ronald Davis called Weeks a "hero" at a press briefing on Tuesday.

Before Weeks joined USMS, he worked with Customs and Border Protection.

He leaves behind his wife, Kelly, and four children.

Samuel Poloche

Poloche, 42, was a 14-year veteran with the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction.

Poloche joined the department's Special Operations and Intelligence Unit in 2013, according to a press release.

Prior to that, he served as a probation/parole officer.

He leaves behind a wife and two children.

William Alden Elliott

Elliott, 46, was also a 14-year veteran with the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction.

Elliott joined the Special Operations and Intelligence Unit in 2016. He also previously worked as a probation/parole officer.

"They loved their work, and were passionate about their roles in protecting our communities," Department of Adult Correction Secretary Todd Ishee said about Poloche and Elliott in a statement.

He leaves behind a wife and one child.

Officer Joshua Eyer

Eyer, 31, died from his injuries after spending several hours fighting for his life in the hospital. He was a 6-year veteran with the CMPD.

Eyer was recently named Officer of the Month.

"He's going to be sorely missed in this law enforcement community," Charlotte-Mecklenburg Johnny Jennings said at a press briefing Tuesday. "And he was one of the ones that you, the kind of officer that you want on your team. And as he demonstrated yesterday, he's the kind officer you'd want to respond when you need help."

He leaves behind a wife and 3-year-old son.

Back The Blue North Carolina is organizing a GoFundMe to raise money for those affected by the shooting. Over $50,000 has been raised so far.

CMPD officers Christopher Tolley, Michael Giglio and Jack Blowers were treated for gunshot wounds. Justin Campell was treated for a broken foot. Tolley remains in the hospital in stable condition after undergoing surgery.

Twelve CMPD officers fired their service weapons during the shooting. All twelve officers were placed on administrative leave as police conduct an internal investigation.

Jennings said officials are still investigating the gunfire coming from multiple locations on the second floor of the residence and if there is a possible second shooter.
