Happening tonight in Charlotte, North Carolina: Protests continue at this hour.
A person was shot and an officer was injured during a second night of protests following the fatal police shooting of a black man the day before. [...]
The evening began peacefully with a vigil at a 6-acre downtown park. But as some protesters left the park and marched through the streets, they faced off with police in riot gear, holding their hands in the air, chanting, “Hands up, don’t shoot.” Others approached the officers’ face masks, saying, “Why do you keep killing us?” [...]
The violent protests began a day earlier, after Keith Lamont Scott was shot by a police officer in a north Charlotte apartment complex parking lot.
Police officers on Wednesday morning repeated their account that Keith Lamont Scott was armed with a gun and ignored their commands to drop his weapon.
At the moment things appear calm and hopefully will stay that way.
