Loaded gun found in North Carolina had fingerprints matching victim: CNN. If lefty CNN is reporting this they must have a lot of faith it. More proof he did have a gun, not a book.

Apparently Scott has fired a gun at police officers in the past, and in a similar situation:

He's a real sweetheart.
I'm sure he had recently found God, though, and was cleaning up his life in preparation for entering college.
How does the family have its own version of video???
Doesn't everyone have a video camera in their pocket now?
Too late; the story that this guy was gunned down with a book in his hand has already entered the Narrative, and will never be changed no matter how much evidence there is.
Strange, never saw a book that had a loaded magazine before.
The books contained his criminal record, which includes 14 arrests in at least 3 states over the years. These guys all seem to have waaaaaay too much contact with the cops.
Yeah, no surprise here. Both incidents, this one and the one in Tulsa, look an awful lot like suicide by cop.
