NAACP head says shooting victim’s history doesn’t matterCHARLOTTE, N.C. — A restraining order filed against a North Carolina man killed by police last week shouldn’t matter because officers who confronted him didn’t know about that history before he was shot to death, a civil rights leader said. Court documents say Keith Lamont Scott had a restraining order filed against him a year ago when he threatened to kill his wife and her son with a gun. In the restraining order last fall, Rakeyia Scott sought to keep her husband away because “he hit my 8-year-old in the head a total of three times with his fist,” she said in the restraining order. When deputies went to serve the restraining order two days after it was filed, Scott had already moved to South Carolina, where he has family. It’s not clear if the gun mentioned in the restraining order is the same one police said they recovered.
