What the video does not show is the exact moment Scott is shot on Tuesday by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers, but you can hear four shots fired in the background.

Charlotte police claim Scott was armed, but his family says he was perched in his car, reading a book while he waited for his son after school.

Overnight, protesters blocked off several streets and a portion of I-85 near the scene of the crime, rallying for justice.

Authorities rushed the man to Carolinas Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

“One of the first things I did was to get down to his level, take a deep breath and not say anything for a couple minutes,” Officer Purdy said in an interview with WSOC.
