      The man killed by police was named Tommy, but he went by "Snoop," per people at the scene. The woman pictured here, Gloria Rainge, says Snoop has been her barber for five years. She watched him get shot. "He was cool, laid back, very intelligent."pic.twitter.com/KKB4D0h6yg

      Witnesses say the female officer who fired the shots was immediately put in a squad car and taken away from the scene. By my count, there are between 80-100 officers at the scene right now. Probably as many or more protestors.pic.twitter.com/Q56GnfaJiW

      The situation just severely escalated when Chicago Police officers moved their line forward. Officers hit multiple protestors with batons, and protesters punched officers back. I haven't seen a police shooting scene this tense since Laquon McDonald.pic.twitter.com/LfEnMP0k85

      "Snoop," the barber who was killed by Chicago Police tonight, has a 5-year-old daughter. One of his customers says he usually brings his daughter with him wherever he goes, but she wasn't with him today.

      I couldn't see what started this, but there was another huge escalation. People started running away as officers and protestors fought through the fence. People are throwing glass bottles at the police. At least three people pulled into a police car.pic.twitter.com/22lqpopJbs

      Internet is bad so it's taking a minute for this video to upload, but Chicago Police just rushed the parking lot and started hitting people. I have my press badge on and identified myself as a reporter but I got shoved to the ground by two cops who smacked my phone out of my hand

          This thread got messed up somewhere along the way because of the bad internet reception, so I'm going to tie up some loose ends. Here's the video of Chicago Police officers knocking my phone out of my hand and shoving me.https://twitter.com/NaderDIssa/status/1018352613203546113?s=19 …

          I had my press badge held up in one hand and my phone in the other while I was saying "I'm a reporter." Two Chicago Police officers repeatedly pushed me, then smacked my phone out of my hand and threw me back. I lost my balance but can't remember if I hit the ground or not. pic.twitter.com/vhi4gjlNla

          Witnesses at the scene said the man who was killed by Chicago Police had a gun in a holster, but wasn't reaching for it and was running away. Others who knew him say he had a concealed carry permit. That's not verified, we'll try to find out more.

          Witnesses say the incident started when the officer told him not to sell loose cigarettes. He supposedly told the officer he wasn't selling them, just handing a couple to his aunt. An argument started, and he began to run. That's when the officer fired, per police and witnesses.

          The Chicago Police narrative for tonight's incident is that the confrontation and shooting happened after the officer saw a man "exhibiting characteristics of an armed person." https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-police-man-shot-south-shore/ …pic.twitter.com/Bwgn0xag3Q

          Protestors are starting to gather for a planned 5 p.m. demonstration at the scene of last night's fatal police shooting of Harith Augustus in South Shore. Not many are here yet. There are probably more reporters than protestors at this point, including national outlets. pic.twitter.com/iM7dM5Mct3

          Maybe you should have backed up . I don’t understand why your moving towards them with a phone in your hand . If they tell you to back up just back up instead of rushing forward. Take responsibility .

          Throw your voice, not bottles. Vote in every election. Throwing bottles just gets you arrested. That doesn’t help.

          So let me get this straight. You think the police should just take these folks throwing things at them. You do realize that is assault. I would further add your press badge does not give you access to everything. Especially when a violent situation is going on grow up.
