CNN
A North Carolina city declared a state of emergency Monday morning amid concerns that video showing the police killing of Andrew Brown Jr. could cause civil unrest when it's released to the public.
Brown, a 42-year-old Black man, was fatally shot by Pasquotank County sheriff's deputies in Elizabeth City on Wednesday when they attempted to serve him with an arrest warrant, the sheriff's office said. Few details have been released about the shooting, but according to dispatch audio from that day, first responders can be heard saying a man had gunshot wounds to the back. Since then, peaceful protests throughout the city have called for officials to release the police body camera video of the shooting.More Related News
