http://abc11.com/news/man-shot-by-police-was-sold-stolen-gun-authorities-say/1527591/The gun was reported stolen in a burglary before any of this happened, the burglary suspect was arrested by the BATFE and HAS ADMITTED he sold the gun to Scott.
Or do you think the cops used a time machine to plant the false report, got the Federal agency in on the conspiracy and brainwashed someone to admit to selling him the gun too?

This is not unusual. There is no doubt in my mind it could have happened in Charlotte.

I think she was yelling that at the cops not to do it (shoot him), not at her husband.

Her voice inflection did not indicate that. Don't do it Keith. No hesitation or pause.
