Two North Carolina sheriff's deputies were killed and three other people found dead in what authorities are calling an ambush that turned into a 13-hour standoff between a shooter and law enforcement.
Two deputies have died from their injuries suffered during the standoff that took place at a home near Boone, located about 116 miles northwest of Charlotte, Watauga County Sheriff Len Hagaman confirmed Thursday morning.
Three civilians – including the suspected shooter – also died, bringing the death toll to five people.
Sheriff Hagaman said that it was fair to say that deputies were "ambushed" at the home when they arrived to conduct a welfare check.
