Charlotte police release video of fatal shooting of Keith Lamont Scott
Reversing his position after five days of protest, Charlotte police chief Kerr Putney decided Saturday to immediately release police footage of the fatal shooting of Keith Lamont Scott. The footage contains video from both body and dashboard cameras, but does not show clear evidence of Scott holding a gun, which officers claim they saw. Police also updated their account of the incident, saying that two plainclothes officers were sitting in an unmarked car serving a warrant in an unrelated case when Scott’s SUV pulled up and the officers noted him rolling a marijuana “blunt” and holding a gun.
Marlins ace José Fernández killed in boating accident
Florida Marlins pitcher José Fernández died in a boating accident Sunday morning in Florida. A Coast Guard crew found a 33-foot boat overturned on a jetty with Fernández, 24, among three deceased. The right-handed All-Star, whose vibrant personality endeared himself to fans as much as his dominant fastball, was a Cuban-born pitcher who grew up in Miami and was drafted 11th overall by the Marlins in 2011. The Marlins’ game against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday was canceled.
