USA City Declared State of Emergency

The governor of the US state of North Carolina
has declared a state of emergency following a
second night of violent protests in Charlotte
over the fatal police shooting of a black man.
"I have declared a State of Emergency &
initiated efforts to deploy the Nat'l Guard &
Highway Patrol to assist local law enforcement
in CLT," Governor Pat McCrory said on
Wednesday night.
One protester critically shot at a demonstration
against police brutality succumbed to his
injuries following the clashes in the city center.
The protesters were marching Wednesday to
denounce the police shooting of African
American Keith Lamont Scott, killed in the city
on Tuesday night.
The 43-year-old’s death outraged Black Lives
Matters activists, leading to a violent protest
there.
"No Justice, No Peace," shouted the
demonstrators as they clashed with heavily-
armed police officers in riot gear.

There were conflicting reports about how Scott
was killed with police alleging that he was
armed, ignored police order, and hurt 16
officers.
Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney said a
protester reported earlier as heavily injured and
transferred to hospital has died.

Police later claimed that the protester was not
shot by officers at all, according to the
Associate Press.
The Charlotte police chief earlier announced the
death, but later on the statement was retracted.
