Two Atlanta police officers shot, suspect killed
The shootings happened when the two officers, assigned to the Zone 4 precinct, were on patrol as part of an effort to curb the burglary problem.
They saw three young men sitting outside a house at 976 Cascade Road SW and attempted to question them, Atlanta Police Chief Richard Pennington said at a press conference at Grady.
Pennington said the officers asked the young men to approach and repeatedly ordered one to take his hands out of his pocket.
The man pulled out an automatic weapon and fired at the officers, striking both, Pennington said. The officers returned fire and killed the gunman, he added.
Police did not say whether the other two men were in custody.
Thankfully, it sounds like the cops are going to be just fine. Also thankfully, they had the presence of mind to save the good folks of Atlanta the cost of an expensive trial.
