BREAKING: Officer Who Shot Keith Lamont Scott "Acted Lawfully"

From CNN:

Charlotte police Officer Brentley Vinson's deadly use of force was lawful the day he killed Keith Lamont Scott, Mecklenburg County District Attorney Andrew Murray said Wednesday in announcing no charges will be filed in the case.

In response to public speculation about whether Keith Lamont Scott was armed the day he was killed by police, Mecklenburg County District Attorney Andrew Murray said "all the credible evidence" leads to the conclusion Scott was armed.

His DNA was found on the grip of a gun found at the scene, Murray said.

Mecklenburg County District Attorney Andrew Murray is holding a news conference, describing new details from the day Keith Lamont Scott was killed by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer Brentley Vinson.

Murray showed surveillance footage from a convenience store shortly before Scott was shot at an apartment complex. The footage showed a bulge around Scott's ankle. Murray said the bulge is consistent with the holster and gun later described by officers.

The district attorney also said at least three officers reported seeing Scott holding a gun before he was shot, though dashcam video did not show that detail.

Charlotte Police Release Officer's Body Cam Video in Shooting Death Of Keith Scott

CMPD has released the body and dash cam footage in the Keith Lamont Scott shooting investigation. The video was released days after protesters demanded that the footage be made public.

At a press conference in advance of releasing the video, Police Chief Kerr Putney said police became concerned with Scott because they became aware he was "in possession of marijuana" and then saw a gun in his car. He wasn't specific or offering many more details other than Scott wasn't "smoking" marijuana but was "in possession" of it. And that, apparently, made the possession of an alleged gun illegal.

What's unclear is how the police became "aware" of the marijuana in Scott's possession if he was inside his car? And, if he wasn't brandishing his gun, how did the police become aware of that? Did they lean into the window of his car?

I think there are many more questions to be raised after today.

Interesting - at the :43 mark you hear one officer ask the other "You on?" I'm guessing he's wondering if his body cam was on?
