3:31 am
>> announcer: from abc news, this is "world news now." good morning, everyone on a very busy thursday morning. i'm kendis gibson. >> i'm diane macedo. the second night of violence unfolds in shar let, following a fatal police shooting. >> it was quite a violent scene. yet again, police in riot gear clashing with protesters this time near an upscale hotel in popular part of charlotte called uptown. one person is in life sup we're told by someone else. at least four officers were injured. the governor just hours ago ordering that the national guard and state troopers take to the streets of charlotte. abc's jim ryan is in charlotte and joins us now with what the situation is in these early morning hours. jim? >> reporter: good morning. no sign of the national guard here on the streets yet in the uptown section. you'll find gatherings of police officers, city police officers,
3:32 am
talking with a few of the demonstrators who earlier in the evening were taunting them, gathering in large groups, and now smaller groups for conversations, if you will, about what's happening in the city for the last 24 hours, and as you said, the governor has declared a state of emergency that will move the national guard here into the area, but as of right now, things have calmed down substantially. kendis? >> jim, as we take a look at what some of the scenes were you saw plenty of these clashes, they utilized tear gas and seems to be quite a bit of looting that took place at many venues and stores. describe to me some of the violence you saw there. >> reporter: yeah. throughout downtown you'll find signs of what happened earlier today. painted windows here at a hotel parking garage, smashed windows in some other parts of city and evidence of the tear gas that was lobbed or the flash bangs
3:33 am
to disperse these crowds. that rather violent situation involving clashes between police officers and protesters has died down quite a bit here in the last few hours, but very tense times for a couple hours just before midnight. >> jim, we saw violent yesterday and we're seeing it yet again today. what plans are in effect to try to prevent this from happening tomorrow? >> reporter: well, i think the governor's plan is attempting to do that, bringing in the national guard, more resources north carolina, to try to simply put boots on the ground to be ready if large-scale demonstrations happened. i think they are trying to take a page from what happened in ferguson, baltimore, other places where these things are going on, trying to learn the lessons, what to do, and essentially whatnot to do, diane. >> jim, obviously, one of the big points of contention here is
3:34 am
in this circumstance. is there anymore from law enforcement in terms of what information they plan to release on what happened yesterday? >> reporter: no, none at all. the police essentially have done their information release that they are going to do. certainly more will be coming out as investigations continue, and as people have lawyers speaking for them. that's what we'll hear from the family members, more about that side of the story the next few days. >> jim, really quickly here, you were there in ferguson, i was there as well for the anniversary, saw the violence that erupted in ferguson. you've been to how would you say this night of unrest, this second night of unrest compared to those other situations you've been to? >> reporter: well, i think the response has been sort of measured by the police here. again, i think they tried to learn from the previous incidents of police violence and the response from communities and tried to tone it down somewhat. tried to hold back the response somewhat and be measured in order to keep things from escalating. i think that's sort of the response you're seeing here. >> all right.
3:35 am
p us after another violent night of unrest in charlotte. stay safe. thank you for joining us. and officials so far have not released police body camera video of the shooting that touched off the violence. >> steve goe nez mez, abc news contributor and former fbi special agent in charge joining us now with more on the law enforcement's response and, steve, one of the things we've been discussing, since last night, you know, police say there was a gun, why not immediately show photos or video and try to tamper down the situation immediately? >> caller: well, that usually indicates that the investigation is a little more complicated than we all think. i would expect that they would try to get that information out to the public as soon as possible because, clearly, that's one of the motivations for these protests and violence and destruction to property. i have to believe that the reason they are not putting it out there is because there's a little more to it and getting it out there without giving full explanation how the
3:36 am
probably going to be problematic for them. >> steve, we also heard some blowback in terms of, you know, not having implemented a curfew for tonight given we saw violence the night before as well. any thoughts on what should have been done differently here and what should be done for tomorrow? >> caller: well, i think that as jim said, they were probably measured -- they probably realized that if they come out too strong, do a curfew and do some other measures that it could exacerbate the whole situation. now, it seems like they did a fairly good job containing, even though there was some violation, property damage, and so on, but i would have to believe that now that they're bringing in the national guard, bringing in other agencies, that they're going to consider, i would hope, a curfew and the full scale of techniques they can use to kind of contain these situations and not result in a riot like we saw in baltimore and ferguson. >> steve, you've seen situations like this firsthand. you were fairly new agent with the fbi when the rodney king
3:37 am
you see the way the baltimore cops -- sorry, the cops in charlotte are handling this and authorities there handling this, and you think what? >> caller: well, in los angeles, it was a very weak response. it was almost like the chief back at that time ak we esed to go ahead and burn up the city. and there was a lot of debate about that. i think in charlotte, they have the advantage of learning from what happened in ferguson and baltimore and i think they are being a lot more proactive in balancing not making the communities feel like they are coming in heavy handed, but at the same time, they have to protect the community, and i think they are now moving -- i think today will be seen they were moving the group to a different area, trying to take better control of the situation. hopefully tomorrow we'll see a
3:38 am
between trying to protect the community and, you know, wanting to answer questions, but also not wanting to release too much information and also not wanting to seem like you're trying to subdue the protests that are going on? what goes into that decision, and how do you ride that line? >> caller: well, the chief of police and the command staff for the different regions there where everything's going on, they are not only in communication with the sergeants and lieutenants and people supervising the troops on the ground, but they are also in communication with the city officials, with the other agencies that are stake holders in this whole situation and probably the state government. they are coordinating the strategy on how they are going to deal with this situation, and that's going to flow all the way down to the sergeants and the lieutenants, whether they're going to be measured or whether they're going to be aggressively come in there and -- i found it interesting that they used flash bangs. flash bangs are concussion type grenades. they are not going to hurt anybody unless the flash bang hits you or is right in front of
3:39 am
they clearly are pulling out all of the tools in the tool chest in order to try to get the crowd to comply and do what they need them to do. >> quickly, steve, do you think any of this impacts how quickly the police release more information? >> caller: absolutely. they are under an incredible amount of pressure to -- if not photos, but preliminary assessment of the shooting to the public. they realize that's the key point. now depending on what the investigation comes up with and their result, the public may not like it. it may make the protests and what we're seeing here yet even worse. that's why we may not have released anything yet. they want to make sure they crossed all the ts, nipped everything together, make sure it's nice and neat to where it's well-explained to the public when it comes out. >> all right. steve gomez for us.
3:40 am
