A fatal confrontation in east Charlotte's Shannon Park neighborhood resulted in the deaths of three U.S. Marshals and two state correction officers.

The deadly incident occurred while officers were serving a warrant to a felon accused of illegal firearm possession.

Gunfire exchanged between the suspect and officers led to a prolonged three-hour standoff.

In the aftermath, a woman and a 17-year-old male were discovered in the home; in total, six officers were wounded.

The shootout prompted a local lockdown affecting roads and schools, as well as a shelter-in-place order for residents.

State and local officials have extended condolences and emphasized support for the law enforcement community.
