Nearly a week of protests over the police killing of a black man in Charlotte, North Carolina showed no signs of abating yesterday, after police released videos showing Keith Scott (43) being shot but did not answer the question of whether he had a gun.

Police released two videos on Saturday showing the fatal shooting of Mr Scott.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police chief Kerr Putney acknowledged that the videos themselves were "insufficient" to prove that Scott held a gun, but said other evidence completed the picture. – (Reuters)
