After days of delay, police in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday released extended video footage of the police-involved shooting death of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott, according to multiple media outlets. The graphic police bodycam footage shows the final moments of the father of seven after he was shot by a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer on Sept. 20 […]
Charlotte police claim Scott was armed, but his family says he was perched in his car, reading a book while he waited for his son after school.
Overnight, protesters blocked off several streets and a portion of I-85 near the scene of the crime, rallying for justice.
“One of the first things I did was to get down to his level, take a deep breath and not say anything for a couple minutes,” Officer Purdy said in an interview with WSOC.
