WATCH LIVE: Day 3 of Protests in Charlotte After Keith Scott Shooting

 

Protesters are taking to the streets in Charlotte, North Carolina for the third night in a row to speak up after yet another fatal police shooting.

Officers were searching for someone who had an outstanding warrant, and a man exited his vehicle with a firearm (not the one they were looking for) and according to WSOC, officers shot him because they believed him to be an imminent deadly threat.

The suspect, identified as Keith Lamont Scott, was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Protests devolved into rioting last night and people were attacked and shot at.
