Protests erupted overnight in Charlotte, North Carolina after a police officer fatally shot 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott. The Charlotte Mecklenberg Police Department said officers, including officer Brentley Vinson, were at The Village at College Downs apartment complex on Old Concord Road to serve a warrant. Authorities didn't suspect Scott of committing a crime, according to Refinery29.
Charlotte Mecklenberg police chief Kerr Putney said in a September 21 press conference that Scott posed an immediate threat to officers when he allegedly exited his car with a gun.
"The officers gave loud, clear, verbal commands which were also heard by many of the witnesses," Putney said. "Mr. Scott exited his vehicle armed with a handgun as the officers continued to yell at him to drop it."
