CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Latest on unrest in Charlotte following the shooting of a black man by police (all times local): 1:35 p.m. In new video, the body of the man killed by Charlotte police can be seen on the ground, where officers appear to try to attend to him, but his actual shooting isn't shown. The video, recorded by 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott's wife, recorded it. Officers tell Scott to drop a gun, but it's unclear from the footage whether he has a weapon. Police have said he was armed, but witnesses say he held only a book. In the video, Rakeyia Scott tells officers her husband doesn't have a gun, has a traumatic brain injury and won't hurt them. She says, "Keith, don't let them break the windows" as she urges him to exit his car. She further tells him, "don't do it," but it's not clear exactly what she means. After the shooting, she tells officers "I'm not coming near you. I'm going to record though." Scott's body is face down, and it's unclear whether the officers are trying to help him or check for a weapon. She states the address and says: "These are the police officers that shot my husband." ___ 1:10 p.m. The New York Times has posted video of the deadly encounter involving police and a black man who was shot by an officer in Charlotte. The video, posted on the newspaper's website Friday, was recorded by the wife of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott. The 2 ½ minute video does not show the shooting, though gunshots can be heard. Before gunfire erupts, police repeatedly tell Scott to drop a gun. His wife tells officers at the scene repeatedly that he doesn't have a gun and that he has a traumatic brain injury. At one point, she tells him to get out of the car so that police don't break the windows. As the encounter escalates, she tells them repeatedly: "You better not shoot him." After the gunshots are heard, Scott can be seen laying on the ground while his wife says "he better live." ___ 11:35 a.m. Charlotte's police chief says there is at least one video from a body camera and one other video from a dashboard camera that captured the deadly shooting of a black man by an officer. But Chief Kerr Putney continued Friday to refuse to release the video, which could resolve wildly different accounts of the shooting of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott. Police have said Scott refused repeated commands to drop a gun; residents say he was unarmed. An attorney for his family, who viewed the video Thursday, says it's not clear from the video if he's holding anything, including a gun. Putney said during a news conference Friday that he cannot release more information about the shooting because his department is not leading the investigation, which is being conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation. ___ 11:25 a.m. Charlotte's mayor says she does believe video of the police shooting of a black man should be released publicly, but she says it's a matter of when. Mayor Jennifer Roberts said during a news conference Friday that "I do believe the video should be released. The question is on the timing." Police Chief Kerr Putney echoed her remarks, saying the video's release is "a matter of when, it's a matter of sequence." Protesters and the family of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott have called on authorities to release the video, which could resolve wildly different accounts of Scott's shooting. Police have said Scott refused repeated commands to drop a gun; residents say he was unarmed. An attorney for his family, who viewed the video Thursday, says it's not clear from the video if he's holding anything, including a gun. ___ 11:20 a.m. Police say they have arrested a suspect in the deadly shooting of a protester during demonstrations in Charlotte over an officer's killing of a black man. Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney said during a news conference that the suspect was arrested Friday morning. He provided few other details about the arrest or the suspect but said that video led investigators to the shooter. The protester was shot Wednesday night during a violent night of protests in Charlotte. Officials have since implemented a curfew that runs from midnight-6 a.m. They also have called in state troopers and the National Guard in an effort to maintain order. After two nights of unrest, Putney says Thursday night's protests were relatively peaceful. ___ 9:30 a.m. Two major employers in downtown Charlotte have their employees back at work after protests were more peaceful in the wake of the shooting of a man by a city police officer. Both Duke Energy and Wells Fargo had employees return to work Friday, after three days of protests rocked the city after 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott was shot by a police officer Monday afternoon. Bank of America told its workers to stay home again Friday. The large employers in the city kept their employees home Thursday, after protesters damaged a number of buildings in the downtown area. ___ 8:15 a.m. President Barack Obama says recent reports of unarmed African Americans being shot by police "should be a source of concern for all Americans." In an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," Obama declined to address specific cases, although he noted that the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, had invited the Justice Department to investigate the shooting there. Obama said protesters expressing their frustrations by looting or breaking glass aren't going to "advance the cause" of racial justice. He added, "my hope is that in days to come, people in the community pull together and say, 'How do we do this the right way?'" He said "it's important for all of us to say we want to get this right." ___ 8:15 a.m. Organizers are planning weekend protests in Atlanta as a response to the police shooting deaths of Terence Crutch in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina. On Friday, the Georgia NAACP is holding a rally and sit-in. According to the Georgia NAACP Facebook page, the group will meet downtown and march at 7 p.m. to the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical site, before marching to an undisclosed location to rally and sit-in. The "ATL Silent Protest" is planned for Saturday. Organizer Steven Chatman tells WXIA-TV (http://on.11alive.com/2cRbqXd) that instead of chanting and yelling as they did at July protests, protesters will remain silent. The ATL Silent Protest will take place from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Lenox Train Station and 7 p.m. to 12 p.m. at Peachtree Center Station. ___ 6:25 a.m. The curfew has ended for Friday in Charlotte following a night of mostly peaceful protests of the shooting of a black man by an officer. Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts issued the curfew order Thursday night, to be in effect from midnight until 6 a.m. each day that the state of emergency continues. Charlotte officials say the order was issued "to more effectively protect the lives." Protesters are upset about the shooting of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott, a black man who was shot by a black police officer Tuesday afternoon. Protests were violent Tuesday and Wednesday night. The curfew order was issued at 9:15 p.m. Thursday and officials said the protests were mostly peaceful. The North Carolina National Guard helped patrol the city Thursday. The curfew makes exceptions for law enforcement, medical, utility and news media. ___ 6:20 a.m. Charlotte police have released details on charges against five people in the protests that followed the shooting of a black man by an officer. Police spokeswoman Cindy Wallace said in a statement that 19-year-old Ian Bowzer is charged with kicking in doors of the Hyatt Hotel downtown Thursday. Bowzer was arrested and charged with injury to real property. Forty-nine-year-old Daniel Baker is accused of breaking into a downtown restaurant. Baker was arrested and charged with breaking and entering and larceny after breaking and entering. It wasn't known if the men have attorneys. Officers have warrants for two other people in that restaurant break-in. They are also charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering and conspiracy. Another man faces similar charges for a break-in at another downtown restaurant Tuesday. ___ 2:20 a.m. A third night of protests over a fatal police shooting in Charlotte gave way to quiet streets early Friday after the city's mayor enacted a curfew and rifle-toting members of the National Guard arrived to guard the city's business district. The largely peaceful Thursday night demonstrations called on police to release video that could resolve wildly different accounts of the shooting this week of a black man. Demonstrators chanted "release the tape" and "we want the tape" while briefly blocking an intersection near Bank of America headquarters and later climbing the steps to the door of the city government center. Later, several dozen demonstrators walked onto an interstate highway through the city, but they were pushed back by police in riot gear.
