At its Monday night meeting, the council opened the floor to dozens of residents who voiced their opinions about the Sept. 20 shooting of Keith Lamont Scott by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. Many speakers demanded that police release all video footage of the confrontation. The footage released so far of Scott's shooting left questions in many people's minds — including whether he was holding a gun, as police have stated. The gun recovered at the scene of Scott's shooting had been stolen and later sold to Scott, a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police source told The Associated Press on Monday. ———This story has corrected Scott's first name to Keith, not Kevin, and the date of the shooting was Sept. 20, not Sept. 21.
