Charlotte police released two videos on Saturday showing the fatal shooting on Tuesday of Keith Scott (43). Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney acknowledged that the videos themselves were “insufficient” to prove that Scott held a gun but said other evidence completed the picture. Both Scott’s family and protesters have disputed the police statements that Scott was carrying a gun. The family video, shot by Scott’s wife, was also inconclusive on the question of a gun. In one of the police videos, a dashboard-mounted camera from a squad car showed Scott exiting his vehicle and then backing away from it.
