Detail fo the incident can be read at Crimeincharlotte.com as well:

“I am sad to report two Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officers were shot and killed last night. Both officers worked in the North Tryon Division and were killed in the line of duty.

Chief Stephens solemnly delivered the terrible news this morning during a 5:30 am press conference at Police Headquarters. He told us two officers responded to a disturbance call at the Timber Ridge Apartments off Barrington Drive around 10:30 pm.

The two officers were both shot in the head by a suspect around 11:15 pm. Both officers were shot from behind and never fired their weapons. This was not a murder, but an execution of these brave men. The two officers were rushed to CMC and passed away a short time later.

Chief Stephens said the two fallen officers are named Sean Clark, 34 (Top Photo) and Jeff Shelton, 35 (Bottom Photo). Officer Clark started with CMPD in January 2006. Officer Shelton started with CMPD in April 2001. Both officers leave behind a wife and Officer Clark leaves behind a two year old son and his wife is expecting their second child.
