CHARLOTTE, NC — It’s the seventh day since the deadly shooting of Keith Lamont Scott by a CMPD officer last Tuesday and protests look to continue in the Queen City. Violence in Uptown made the headlines on Wednesday followed by the National Guard being called in to assist security on Thursday after a State of Emergency was declared. A midnight to 6am curfew was lifted Sunday night after being imposed Thursday too. CMPD Chief Putney announced Saturday that the body and dash cam footage would be made available after many demands from protesters, city leaders and other prominent figures for the release of video recorded during the shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott. WCCB has been covering the events from the beginning and will continue to bring you the latest as it develops. Also follow WCCB on Twitter and Facebook for breaking updates.
Update 11pm:
