It's a night of unrest in Charlotte, N.C., with further protests taking over the streets stemming from an incident involving 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott - a father of seven - being shot by police on Tuesday.

Several hundred protesters rallied again on Wednesday, with one person even being shot. Riot police were also present, firing tear gas to disperse the large crowds. This comes one night after 16 officers were injured during Tuesday's protests.
