A shootout that killed four law enforcement officers and wounded four others in North Carolina began as officers approached a home to serve a warrant for a felon wanted for possessing a firearm, police said. “Today we lost some heroes who were out simply trying to keep our community safe,” Jennings said at a news conference. Several armored vehicles were parked across yards, some with tree branches dangling off them.
