Protesters gather after police fatally shoot man

CHARLOTTE, NC (AP) — Police in riot gear confronted protesters at a Charlotte apartment complex after an officer shot a man there earlier in the day.

The officers were shown backing up as protesters advanced down the street Tuesday night. Initial reports say at least 100 protesters gathered at the scene, with some throwing water bottles at police.

The police officers were in riot gear stretched across a two-lane road. Some of the officers flanked the main line on one side of the road

Some protesters were heard yelling “Black lives matter,” and “Hands up, don’t shoot!” One person held up a sign saying “Stop Killing Us.”
