Two police officers killed in Charlotte


Sean Clark 34 and Jeffrey Shelton 35 were responding to a disturbance call at the apartment complex, when they were both shot at the parking lot. They both died after in the hospital. "It's a real tragedy for us, the officers, for the families, for the communities, that we've lost two in one incident," said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Chief Darrel Stephens. Clark has been with the police department for 1 year and Shelton had worked there since 2001. They used helicopters and police dogs in a search for suspects. No suspects were found though. Both officers were married, Clark and his wife were expecting a baby.

I think this is a tragic lost to the police department and a even more tragic lost to Sean Clark's family because he and his wife were both expecting a baby, and now the baby will be born without ever seeing his father.
