Charlotte, NC man shot by police was sold stolen gun
2016-09-27
[CHARLOTTE WTVD] -- The gun that Keith Scott had on him during the deadly shooting was reported stolen after a breaking and entering, police said.
No mention of the fact he was a convicted felon who should not have had a firearm in his possession.
The breaking and entering suspect told ATF Agents that he sold the gun to Scott. The suspect is in custody.

Scott's wife filed a domestic violence protective order on him in 2015 saying he hit his child, kicked her and threatened to kill them with his gun, ABC affiliate WSOC reported Monday evening.

Video of Scott being shot by officers was released on Saturday. Police also released images of a gun, holster, and marijuana they say were recovered from the scene.

Lawyers for a coalition of media groups have written a letter asking for more video footage and other information related to a fatal police shooting.

#4  a convicted felon, bought a stolen gun...was smoking dope in public...pulled his concealed stolen gun on a herd of Police Officers...refused to comply with their lawful orders to put the gun down...and pointed it at them...gets shot for threatening the Officers...


Both sides have it wrong. Society has a problem on its hands. Most of these angry young men grew up without a father figure. Secondly they were never introduced to the optional Father figure. Lay this at the feet of liberalism.

Victims of liberalism are both the angry young black man and the cop on the beat.

And Hillary says that we are implicitly bias.
