now, keith lamont scott's wife, she had, and her attorneys had said she believed that keith lamont scott was unarmed, that she wasn't aware he had any type of weapon. during this news conference, the district attorney said that text messages a month before the shooting included arguments about a gun between scott and her husband keith lamont scott. now, there was another witness. remember that story that initially, you know, really catapulted this to national attention is keith lamont scott was holding a book instead of a gun. several witnesses repeated that. it really caught fire on social media. and it really fueled the community anger. again, the district attorney said upon further investigation by those agents, by the state bureau of investigation, the witness who initially said that, that witness then told the agents she never actually saw the shooting. she was in her apartment. never witnessed that. it really speaks to how, you know, in this age of social media and this digital age where some sketchy information may come out at the very beginning of this investigation, it really, y

several witnesses said that there was a white officer that had shot keith lamont scott. the district attorney said that was false. while his wife had told her attorneys early on and told reporters that scott was unarmed, investigators found that there were text messages referencing a gun between her and keith lamont scott in the month before the shooting. so it goes back to we have all of this information in digital age, social media, it got spread very quickly and the district attorney cautioned the public and the media and said before jumping to conclusions, they need to let this investigation play out. he urged calm, said that this was meticulously down. >> gabe gutierrez on his way to charlotte for us. thank you. >>> we're asking in the poll question today, a prosecutor concluded an officer acted lawfully in the shooting of keith lamont scott. do you agree with that decision? >>> we're following breaking developments from the south this afternoon. a tale of destruction as a tornado lifted in the southeast where overnight storms killed five people in two different stat

deemed to be credible and you had more than one saying there was a threat of lethal force by keith lamont scott. in that balancing act, officers almost always win. >> one of the discrepancies was did keith lamont scott have a gun. a lot of the witnesses said no. the wife said no. the evidence as laid out here in the witness testimony from the other police officers and radio traffic is yes. that is what the d.a. just said there. however, tom fuentes, the d.a. made clear keith lamont scott did not raise or point the gun. no witness testimony points to that. the other piece of evidence which is interesting is none of the video, there was a lot of video from dash cams, body cam, to keith lamont scott's own wife shooting video with her cell phone, none of the video actually shows a gun in his hand. >> first of all, they not only show that he had a gun, they showed that he had and proved that he had that gun, with the evidence that it had been stolen and the individual who sold it to scott, that that's how he obtained that gun. the idea that he would be wearing an ankle holster without that gun in th

from keith lamont scott during that incident. laid out in great detail the incident, but a few things he mentioned really bear talking about right now. he said that scott ignored repeated commands, at least ten commands, for him to drop the gun. scott was inside his car when he first drew the gun, and the officers at that time saw him draw the gun inside his car. commanded him to drop the gun. yelled that he had a gun. at that point, the d.a. sdays that keith lamont scott took a deep breath, exited the vehicle with his gun and started to back away from it. the key thing asserted, keith lamont set, assessed the officers, looked at the other officers, looked back at vinson and vinson felt he was in immediate threat of being shot by scott. here is the d.a.'s announcement what he concluded. >> after thorough review and given the totality of the circumstances and credibility evidence in this case, it is my opinion that officer vinson acted lawfully when he shot mr. scott. he acted lawfully. >> and, therefore, no criminal charges will b

and sharp contradiction to what the family was saying, what keith lamont scott's wife had said from the get-go. and also, what witnesses at the scene had initially told reporters and had told police. but as you mentioned, the district attorney today, just a few moments ago, announcing his conclusion that officer brentley vinson acted lawfully in his use of deadly force. and he also had a message for the community, urging calm. again, the charlotte police is on alert following this decision. officers there are working 12-hour shifts, just in case any violent demonstrations were to break out. but as you mentioned, andrea, this was an extremely controversial case. two nights of rioting followed the shooting. and several more days of peaceful protests, throughout the city of charlotte. but several main points that the district attorney refuted that initial information that had come out. one, he said that contrary to what the family attorney had said and what several witnesses at the scene had said, the district attorney said that keith lamont scott was armed. there was initially some questi

. >> prosecutors in north carolina said the officer who shot and killed keith lamont scott sparked protest and it was justified in that action. there he is. lots of reaction to this announcement. we will bring you the latest on that and much more. we begin with the top story. a win for workers according to donald trump. he said he struck a deal with carrier, the indiana-based air conditioning company that he hammered for the decision to move thousands of jobs to mexico. for days, trump and vice president-elect mike pence remember is also still the governor. they have been pressuring carrier to keep the jobs in the state and trying to strike a deal to do that. carrier confirmed that it will be not be moving 1,000 jobs to mexico after all. trump is headed out to indiana for what he is billing as a major announcement about this deal tomorrow. obviously this is news that will come as a great relief to those workers. it's a major public relations win for the president-elect, but there are questions about what exactly trump has agreed to here. what he agreed to give carrier in order to get it to

keith scott should have lost his life it's whether or not that officer should have pulled the trigger and extinguished his life. >> i asked district attorney andrew murray if their evidence ever showed keith lamonttt raised his hand, raised his gun toward officer brentley vinson and the d.a. said as far as all the evidence they have is concerned that they have seen he did not raise his hand but the d.a. stressed multiple times the officer felt he was in imminent danger of being shot because keith scott refused at least 10 commands to drop his gun. he did not run away or drop his gun, he assessed the officer -- this is an important detail. the d.a. said when he came out of his vehicle carrying his gun, that he looked at the officers and looked back at officer vinson which means according to the d.a. he was assessing the officers and that's what led the officer to believe he was in imminent danger of being shot. brooke? >> we know the d.a. and the family have been calling for calm but there is a rally in charlotte later this evening. >>> next, what president barack obama was thinking one day after hillary clinton lost the presidential election. we'll discuss this fascinating wide-ranging interview

if at any point keith lamont scott raised his gun and pointed it at the officers.id as far as the evidence he's seen, he did not do that. but the d.a. repeatedly said that the officers felt they were under immediate threat and that he did have a gun on him. today, an attorney for the scott family, justin bamberg, did admit that scott had a weapon on him, but he said the killing was not justified. here's what mr. bamberg had to say. >> it was safe to say that yes, he did have a gun on his person during the course of this. it's a matter of where that firearm was. at the end of the day, whether he had a firearm in his hand or not, that's not the key question in terms of determining whether or not this guy should have lost his life. it's whether or not that officer should have pulled the trigger, and extinguished his life based on everything that occurred. >> reporter: the scott family says they are still going to pursue justice for keith lamont scott. it's unclear whether they're going to file a civil lawsuit tonight. i was told by a police official here that officer

to the claims by some the white officers on the scene shot keith lamont scott, the d.a. , every piece of evidence they have show that is not the case. only for shots fired at keith scott and all four came from officer vinson's gun. i asked the d.a., did keith scott ever raise his gun towards the officer? the d.a. said from every indication from the officers on the scene he did not actually raise his hand. none the less, officer vinson felt he was in imminent danger and said he has to fire the shots. >> a really good question, brian. giving clarity to what the district attorney was thinking and then laura coates, we then heard the d.a. talk about reaction time. that actually for scott to have lifted, if he were to, lifted his hand and point the weapon at the officer, that research shows that at best it could be a tie. so that he was trying to make the point the officer was very much at risk. i know that you see issue with that. >> well, that is an issue. not because it undermines the d.a.'s ultimate conclusion, but all this has done in realtime when an officer has a threat
