Phelan, however, contends that Covey is skirting an opportunity to address Southeast Texas voters in a televised debate, painting his intraparty challenger as a political pawn for outside interests. Police officers "are heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, rushing into harm’s way to protect us," President Joe Biden said in a statement after Monday’s shooting. "We mourn for them and their loved ones. And we pray for the recoveries of the courageous officers who were wounded." His record in Mecklenburg County, home of Charlotte, shows charges in 2021 relating to marijuana possession and eluding arrest. The district attorney there, though, stopped prosecuting many drug crimes in early 2021. As a convicted felon, Hughes was already banned from having a gun.

"Another day, another completely unsubstantiated lie from David Covey," Cait Wittman, Phelan's communications director, told the American-Statesman. "Covey’s lies are as baseless as they are tiresome, and about the only thing voters can reliably expect from him if elected." And people I’ve talked to worry that this incident will increase the tension, and that any progress we’ve made since 2020 is at risk if we don’t all step up," said Cameron Pruett, of the Charlotte-based Freedom Center for Social Justice.

Marshals agents arrest more people wanted on warrants than all other Justice Department agencies combined, according to a recent report by the U.S. Authorities in Charlotte declined to comment on how they assessed the safety risks of an effort to arrest Hughes, who was already wanted for having guns, in a residential area in the middle of the day. Other officers shot and killed Hughes on the home's front lawn. They used the armored vehicle to rip the front of the house open so they could send a drone in, witnesses said.

"They do what they’ve got to do to get the officer who was shot," Chhoeun said. Chhoeun said he watched as one and then another officer was hit by gunfire from the rear of the home. Other spots on the tour include the Levine’s building, the Kress building and the Woolworth building all on Polk Street. Xcel Energy also is reminding customers to call 811 to have underground lines marked before taking on any landscaping projects such as tree planting that require digging. Trees play an important role in regulating and improving the natural environment, and for Texas and New Mexico residents looking to save money on their electric bills, they’re an effective way to reduce the impact of summer heat and lower energy costs as well.
“We will have both the North Exhibit Hall and the Heritage Ballroom of the Civic Center filled with more than 250 booths for the one-day show. It’s a great way for the public to come check out a wide variety of businesses and industries as well as non-profit organizations all under one roof,” said Jason Harrison, President & CEO of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce. The most recent Texas House speaker to be ousted in his own party's primary was Rayford Price, a conservative Democrat, in 1972. He was defeated by a progressive Democrat, Fred Head, who was a sitting House member who moved to Price's district to challenge the speaker, according to "The House Will Come to Order," a history of the Texas House speakership published in 2010. If Phelan comes out ahead in the runoff, he'll likely face a separate challenge to his speakership from Rep. Tom Oliverson, R-Cypress, who announced last monththat he would seek the House's top spot in 2025.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings initially told reporters that it seemed shots were still coming from the house after Hughes was taken down, and that gunfire came from multiple spots. But investigators say they are still trying to determine whether that was the case. At least 12 officers fired their guns in the confrontation, authorities said.

"Instead, he is making up excuse after excuse to avoid facing me directly." Criticizing and down playing Patrick's and Paxton's interest in the race, Phelan over the past month has gone on the offensive against Covey, painting his challenger as being solely responsible for keeping voters from hearing the candidates debate. Phelan's campaign has called Covey's claims about reaching out to the incumbent to schedule a debate false and highlighted that as of Thursday the challenger's campaign has yet to respond to the TV stations' official debate invitation, which was sent April 1.

As a Black woman driving a muscle car, she said, she’s often pulled over, and she didn’t want to risk anything now. This being East Charlotte, they didn't think much of the first burst, or even the second. Lots of people have guns, she said, and maybe someone was showing off. − Rissa Reign and her girlfriend were doing spring cleaning, door open to let the sun in and the dust out, when they heard gunshots.

It found that officers on the marshals’ task forces shot more people, more frequently, than large metro police forces of a similar size – in part because the Marshals Service’s rules on the use of force were looser than those of many police departments.

Hughes’ adult criminal record shows a path through a series of lesser offenses. According to local TV station WCNC, he was convicted of breaking and entering in 2010 and served six months in prison. Later, he was arrested again after trying to flee police, the news station reported.
Two officers with tactical vests and assault rifles dropped beside the wheels of the car in Chhoeun's driveway, ducking incoming shots, then craning their necks as they tried to figure out how to return fire. In the house at the center of the gunfight, investigators would find a .40 caliber pistol and an AR-15-style assault rifle, the same kind of gun at the center of the nation’s gun-rights debate. All four – Sam Poloche and Alden Elliott of the state's Department of Adult Correction, U.S. Marshals Deputy Thomas M. Weeks Jr. and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer Joshua Eyer – were married men, and fathers. Four other officers would be wounded in the shooting in the sprawling, tree-lined neighborhood of brick homes. Regardless of the outcomes in the upcoming runoff election and potential speakership battle, Phelan has already made a reluctant piece of House history in being forced into a runoff. Nick Maddux, a general consultant for Covey, in a statement Thursday reiterated the campaign's frustration with Phelan over the debate and took issue with the arrangements for the April 1 offer from the news stations and over its potential moderator.
