The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction identified Sam Poloche and Alden Elliott as two of the other killed officers. Both Poloche and Elliott were 14-year veterans of the agency. The officers were met with more gunfire from inside the house, the police said. After a long standoff and negotiations, two females came out of the house and were taken to a police station to be interviewed.
The fourth officer killed during the shooting Monday was identified by the U.S. Joshua Eyer was identified as the CMPD officer who died on Monday night. Eyer worked with CMPD's North Tryon Division for six years and was recently named the department's Officer of the Month. That same month, a gunman fatally shot three officers and injured three others in Baton Rouge, La. More than 100 rounds littered the scene, said Chief Johnny Jennings of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police. He added that it was not clear how many rounds had been fired by the suspect and how many by the at least 12 officers who returned fire.

Jennings said police assisted Charlotte Fire with traffic control, as well as with the evacuation process. CMPD’s flight team also provided firefighters with a bird’s eye view, helping them determine which areas to attack. He said fire crews have remained on scene since Thursday morning, but companies could potentially return to their stations Friday evening.
He said he made sure everyone on the crew he leads was together and got out, but was worried for others. Johnson thanked fire departments in Pineville, Midland, Wesley Chapel, and Steele Creek for covering Charlotte calls while Charlotte firefighters were in SouthPark. Charlotte Fire said 90 firefighters responded to the scene. Charlotte Fire asked residents Thursday afternoon not to call 911 unless it was an emergency.

"The CMPD is assisting the Charlotte Fire Department with road closures in the area... due to a large fire," it said, adding, "do not call 911 unless you have an emergency."
