An irate driver in downtown Charlotte pulls out his gun after being blocked by a crowd protesting the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott.

Fortunately, police officers quickly arrive to defuse the situation, and the driver was allowed to leave the scene.

Authorities in Charlotte tried to quell public anger Wednesday after a police officer shot a black man, but a dusk prayer vigil turned into a second night of violence, with police firing tear gas at angry protesters and a man being critically wounded by gunfire. North Carolina’s governor declared a state of emergency in the city.

The man was not shot by police who had massed in riot gear to keep the marchers outside an upscale downtown hotel, Charlotte officials announced on Twitter. City officials originally announced the man was dead but later reversed that statement and said he was on life support.

    What is wrong with you black people? Do you really want to attack us whites just because of our skin color?
