Arrest warrants must be served to alleged criminals if society is going to function. But there is no guarantee of safety for police officers knocking on their doors.<\/p>\n

The grim risks came into stark relief Monday when four law enforcement officers were killed<\/a> in North Carolina while serving an arrest warrant. The attack in Charlotte left four other officers wounded and became the worst attack on police in the U.S. since 2016.<\/p>\n

The tragedy underscores the limits of even the best-trained officers and the unpredictability of the alleged criminals being served.<\/p>\n

“A lot of these guys don\u2019t want to go back to jail,” said Tre Pennie, executive director of the National Fallen Officer Foundation. “And if it\u2019s not a surprise, they got time to prepare. They\u2019re going to do everything they can to keep from going back to jail.”<\/p>\n

Law enforcement can never control more than half of the situation, said Thor Eells, executive director of the National Tactical Officers Association.<\/p>\n

“They can be 100% correct in everything they do,” he said, but the “suspect and or suspects are responsible for the other 50%.”<\/p>\n

Here is what we know about the shooting in Charlotte and other fatal shootings of officers serving warrants.<\/p>\n

A U.S. Marshals Task Force of officers from different agencies arrived in a residential neighborhood to try to capture Terry Clark Hughes Jr., authorities said. He was wanted for possession of a firearm by an ex-felon and fleeing to elude in Lincoln County, North Carolina<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The task force was fired on as they approached the house, and Hughes, 39, was killed in the front yard, authorities said.<\/p>\n

An AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and a 40-caliber handgun were found at the scene. An AR-15 is able to penetrate traditional body armor and allowed the shooter to “unload several rounds towards our officers within a matter of seconds,” Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said.<\/p>\n

He said more than 100 spent bullets were recovered, though it wasn\u2019t clear how many were fired by the suspect. At least 12 officers also fired guns.<\/p>\n

Authorities in Charlotte will likely conduct an “after-event analysis” that will include interviewing officers and neighbors, said Alexis Piquero, a University of Miami criminology professor.<\/p>\n

The lessons learned will be of interest to law enforcement agencies across the country, he said, to make sure officers “can prevent this from ever happening again.”<\/p>\n

Piquero, who is a former director of the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, said the serving of warrants by police often occurs as planned and runs “fairly smoothly.”<\/p>\n

And while officers prepare for danger, shootings are unavoidable because officers can’t predict how a suspect will react. All it takes is “a high-caliber weapon (and a) person with really evil intentions,” he said.<\/p>\n

Three officers were killed while serving warrants in 2022, according to the FBI\u2019s Center for the Study of Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted.<\/p>\n

Their deaths amounted 5% of the 60 law enforcement officials<\/a> who died that year because of felonious incidents. Those are defined by the FBI as deaths that are the “direct result of a willful and intentional act by an offender.”<\/p>\n

In 2021 and 2020, two officers died each year while serving an arrest warrant, FBI data shows. Five officers died in 2019 while serving search or arrest warrants.<\/p>\n

Recent fatal shootings include the killing of two sheriff’s deputies in Cobb County, Georgia, in 2022. They were attempting to arrest a man wanted on theft charges when another man confronted them with a gun, authorities said. A shootout ensued when the armed man refused commands to drop his weapon.<\/p>\n

In 2021, a Houston police officer was killed and another was wounded while they were attempting to arrest a man on drug charges, police said. The man they were trying to arrest was also killed.<\/p>\n

In 2020, a Philadelphia police officer was shot and killed as he served a homicide warrant at a home, officials said. Several people were arrested, including the fugitive being sought.<\/p>\n

Eells, of the National Tactical Officers Association, said police must consider a multitude of factors before serving a warrant.<\/p>\n

“There are so many tangibles that come to play. It’s like trying to wrap your arms around Jell-O and then pick it up,” he said. “It’s not easy.”<\/p>\n

Among the things officers will want to know is the criminal histories<\/a> of the people being arrested.<\/p>\n

“Have they demonstrated a propensity for violence? Have they been known to carry weapons?” said Eells, who served more than 30 years with the Colorado Springs Police Department. “Are they involved in gang activity?”<\/p>\n

Mental illness as well as drug and alcohol abuse are also valuable details. So is any formal weapons training or known access to body armor.<\/p>\n

Then there’s the suspect’s location. Do police have to go through a fence? Is there a ring camera? Is it an apartment complex with a lot of people around? Maybe it’s safer to arrest the suspect away from home.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019ll go through this planning process until they arrive at a decision where they think they\u2019ve mitigated the factors that they can control with regard to risk,” Eells said. “But there will still always be inherent risk. We cannot eliminate it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
