The name of the man shot and killed by officers near the site of the controversial 'Cop City' Atlanta Police Department training facility on Wednesday has been released.
The injured trooper, whose name has not been released, was shot in the "pelvic-area" and he was wearing a bullet-proof vest. Fellow officers were able to pull him from the woods and medics rushed him to Grady Memorial Hospital. After emergency surgery Wednesday afternoon, he was moved to the ICU for recovery. Officials say he was in stable condition Thursday.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation will be investigating the deadly use of force and will turn over its findings to the Georgia Attorney General’s Office and DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office, who are jointly prosecuting this case.Seven people behind bars after protests at planned Atlanta police training site
While there have been rumors possible human remains or artifacts on the land, the foundation points to an archeological and historic preservation study which found no trace. A big portion of the controversy stems from a non-binding resolution passed by the Atlanta City Council in 2017. With the "City Design Plan," the city was hoping the area would be preserved as greenspace and become part of a greater effort to renew the South River Forest Basin.
