Hundreds of Charlotte cops turn out for funeral of one of four officers killed in shootout with Terry Clark Hughes

Hundreds of cops in Charlotte showed up to honor one of the cops killed in Monday's shootout with felon Terry Clark Hughes. 

Hughes, 39, fired at least 100 rounds from a high-powered rifle at officers who were outside the home he was in as he was wanted for possession of a firearm by a felon and two counts of felony fleeing. He was fatally shot during the exchange. 

The shooting left four dead. Two officers, Samuel Poloche and William Elliot, were with the North Carolina Department of Corrections and Thomas Weeks was a deputy U.S. Marshal. 

The final victim, Joshua Eyer, was with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. 

A processional to honor him began on Friday at CMPD headquarters and made its way to First Baptist Church in uptown Charlotte for the memorial service. 

Large gatherings of cops turned out for the processional and crowds lined up as a horse-drawn carriage carried his body to the church. 

Bystanders carried American flags and waved 'Blue Lives Matters' versions of the Stars and Stripes.

Law enforcement officers were seen hugging and comforting each other in support during the emotional proceedings. 

Heartbreaking photos form inside First Baptist Church show Eyer's three-year-old son, Andrew, waving to a picture of his deceased father while his mother, Ashley Eyer, clutched him.

Ashley gave a moving speech during the funeral proceedings, as Eyer's best friend Charlie Sardelli comforted her. 

The funeral came just days after the tragic death of the beloved and respected North Carolina officer. 

At the time of the shooting on Monday, a neighbor managed to capture terrifying footage of the heated exchange between Charlotte police and two gunmen. 

A livestream shared by Saing Chhoeun on Facebook shows two heavily armed cops taking cover behind a vehicle as they engage in the gun battle.

The video begins with the terrified neighbor seemingly locked outside his house and asking someone to let him in. 

The officers repeatedly ask the neighbor to go inside the home, but he informs them he can't because he does not have the keys.

Some of the officers who rushed to the Charlotte neighborhood to rescue the first wave of downed officers were wounded, as a second shooter began firing on them. That shooter opened fire after they killed the wanted man, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said.

'When [officers] approached Hughes they were met by gunfire and returned the gunfire, striking Hughes, who was found deceased in a yard', Jennings said.

Officers then received 'additional gunfire' from within the residence, but it is not yet clear whose bullets struck which officers, and how many cops were hit overall.

After a three-hour standoff, the suburban Charlotte home was torn open. Armored vehicles smashed into it, ripping off windows and entire doorways that were left broken. Several armored vehicles were parked across yards, some with tree branches dangling off them.
