‘CLEAR OUT’

Atlanta Mayor Slams Armed Protesters After 8-Year-Old Girl Is Shot Dead

Secoriea Turner was killed near the Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks was shot by police.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is demanding armed protesters vacate the area around the Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks was killed by police after an 8-year-old girl was shot and killed during a confrontation at a barricade. “If you want to be a part of a solution and not the problem, you need to clear out of that area,” the mayor said at a press conference on the Saturday night death of Secoriea Turner. Police say the girl was with her mom and a friend in a car that tried to turn into a parking lot near the fast-food restaurant. A standoff ensued and someone in “group of armed individuals who had blocked the entrance” opened fire, a police spokesman said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Police have not made any arrests.
