Alton Sterling death: Fresh protest over Louisiana shooting

Hundreds of people have gathered for a second night of protests at the spot where a black man was pinned to the ground and shot dead by police. 

Mourners, friends and relatives of Alton Sterling met outside the shop in Baton Rouge where he was killed early on Tuesday morning.  Some demonstrators chanted "Black lives matter" and called for justice. 

A second video has emerged that showed the altercation between the 37-year-old and two police officers.

It appears to show Mr Sterling being held down and then shot several time. 

Seconds later, one of the officers is seen removing an object from the man's trousers as he lies on the ground with blood on his chest.  

Police have said Mr Sterling was found to be armed.
