Several days of unrest exacerbated by the city's lack of transparency in Scott's shooting death brought forth emotional reactions during a Monday night city council meeting.
Rep. Robert Pittenger, a North Carolina congressman, expressed regret for inflammatory statements he made on live television in which he said Charlotte protesters "hate white people because white people are successful and they're not."
Police Chief Kerr Putney prematurely declared the man's death Wednesday night, but later corrected the statement early Thursday morning. The city also corrected the news on their Twitter account.
Initially, the city tweeted that the person was killed, but in a second tweet, city officials said the person was in critical condition on life support.
Overnight, protesters blocked off several streets and a portion of I-85 near the scene of the crime, rallying for justice.
