Charlotte, N.C., police released dash and body camera footage of the fatal shooting of Keith Lamont Scott Saturday.

The dash cam video shows the moment that Scott exits his car and is shot by police a few seconds later. Additional body camera footage was also released, as well as a summary of the incident.

The police also released photos of the gun and marijuana Scott had on him at the time.

According to police, two plainclothes officers were sitting in a vehicle preparing to serve a warrant at an apartment complex when they saw Scott rolling a marijuana cigarette in a vehicle next to them.

They initially did not believe Scott to be a priority and police said that they resumed warrant operation, but a short time later an officer saw Scott hold up a gun.

Police said that the officers left the scene to return with marked duty clothes and equipment. They repeatedly ordered Scott to drop his weapon as he sat in his car, which he refused to do.

An officer tried to break Scott’s car window with a baton, which can be seen in the body camera footage. Scott then exited the vehicle with the gun and backed away from his car while continuing to ignore commands to drop his gun.

“Officer Vinson perceived Mr. Scott’s actions and movements as an imminent physical threat to himself and the other officers. Officer Vinson fired his issued serve weapon, striking Mr. Scott. Officers immediately rendered first aid and requested Medic to respond to the scene," the case update reads.

A later crime scene investigation found that Scott’s gun was loaded and that he had been wearing an ankle holster.

The chief of the Charlotte Police Department announced Saturday that his department would release some footage of the fatal shooting, which triggered several days of protests.

Chief Kerr Putney reversed himself at a press conference on Saturday after previously maintaining that he would not release the footage. He said full footage will be released at a later date.

“I stated throughout the process that I was unwilling to deviate from that stance,” Putney said. “Well, today, after having a conversation with the State Bureau of Investigation, the lead agency in the investigation at this point, I have decided that we’re at a stage where I can release additional information without adversely impacting their investigation.”

Putney said that releasing the footage before Saturday would have damaged the integrity of the investigation into the shooting.

The police department had been widely criticized for withholding the footage because there had been conflicting reports about whether Scott was armed when he was shot by police.

Several news outlets obtained footage taken of the incident by Scott's wife on Friday, showing her pleading with police not to shoot and saying he is unarmed, even as they order him to drop a weapon.

The chief cautioned that the police footage alone is "insufficient" to determine whether there was wrongdoing by officers, though he maintained that Scott was armed when he was shot.
