The family of Keith Lamont Scott released video Friday of the police shooting in Charlotte, N.C., that killed the 43-year-old father of seven.

The video does not show Scott being shot in frame, yet viewers should be cautioned that it contains graphic language.

 The footage begins with Scott’s wife Rakeyia telling police officers he doesn’t have a gun, thought multiple officers can be heard shouting, “Drop the gun! Drop the gun!”
