(CNN) Charlotte, site of protests after a police officer-involved shooting last week, and the state of North Carolina have lifted states of emergency for the city.

Gov. Pat McCrory thanked Charlotte-Mecklenburg police, the Highway Patrol and state's National Guard for "working together to restore order over the past week."
