The mayor of
Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday called for calm and peace after 16
officers were hurt and police vehicles were damaged overnight during a
demonstration against the police shooting of a black man at an apartment
complex in
the city.
Police Chief Kerr
Putney disputed claims made by some protesters that the man killed on Tuesday,
43-year-old Keith Scott, had been unarmed.
"We did find a
weapon," he told reporters in Charlotte at a press conference held with
Mayor Jennifer Roberts.
