Demonstrators Who Had Occupied Area Near Atlanta Wendy’s Apparently Shoot Little Girl
Why is this not the biggest story in the country? The headline should read “Democrats murder child with complicity of corrupt incompetent mayor“
Quote:ATLANTA — An 8-year-old girl was shot and killed Saturday night in Atlanta near the Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks died last month.
Police identified the child Sunday as Secoriea Turner.
Officers said they responded to a 911 call near University Avenue and I-75/I-85 around 9:50 p.m. The location of the shooting was in a parking lot across the street from the now burned-out Wendy’s, which has been occupied by demonstrators since Brooks’ death at the hands of an Atlanta police officer.
Police said Turner was riding in a car with her mother and her mother’s friend when they exited the interstate at University Avenue. The driver tried to turn into the parking lot at 1238 Pryor Road when he was confronted by an “group of armed individuals” who had blocked the entrance.
“At some point, someone in that group opened fire on the vehicle, striking it multiple times and striking the child who was inside. The driver then drove to Atlanta Medical Center for help,” police said in a statement.
Police said the 911 caller told them they were heading to Atlanta Medical Center with the victim. The child died at the hospital.
On Sunday night, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms blasted protesters who had turned violent.
“You cant blame this on a police officer. You can’t say this about criminal justice reform,” Bottoms said. “This is about some people carrying some weapons who shot up a car with an 8-year-old baby in the car for what?!?
“Enough is enough,” Bottoms continued. “If you want people to take us seriously and you don’t want us to lose this movement, we can’t lose each other.”
Bottoms said there were at least two shooters and begged anyone with information to come forward.
“I am just asking you to please honor this baby’s life,” Bottoms said. “If you know who did this, please turn them in. These people are a danger to all of us.”
Later, Turner’s mother, spoke a few words before bursting into tears and being carried out of the room by family members.
“She was only 8 years old,” Charmaine Turner said. “She would have been on Tik Tok dancing on her phone, just got done eating. We understand the frustration of Rayshard Brooks. We didn’t have anything to do with that. We’re innocent. My baby didn’t mean no harm.”
Turner said in the news conference that her daughter died in her arms.
Secoriya Williamson, Secoriea’s father, also spoke out.
“They say black lives matter,” Williamson said. “You killed your own this time. You killed a child. She didn’t do nothing to nobody.”
Bottoms said the crowd outside the Wendy’s had re-erected barriers that the city had already taken down. The family was trying to get around the barrier when the confrontation happened.
Bottoms announced that after weeks of trying to negotiate with protesters occupying the Wendy’s, the efforts are over and the area will be cleared.
“A the point that an 8-year-old baby is killed, the discussions have ended,” Bottoms said.
Interim Police Chief Rodney Bryant also spoke about a plan to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
“We cannot tolerate losing a child from the city of Atlanta,” Bryant said. “We have to do a better job as a community and as a police department and as the citizens that live in this city,”
Police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to Secoriea’s killers. Information can be submitted anonymously to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or online at http://www.StopCrimeATL.com.
Tipster do not have to give their name or any identifying information to be eligible for the reward of up to $10,000 for the arrest and indictment of the suspect.
Police are describing one of the shooters as a man wearing all black and dressed like a bounty hunter. The other shooter was a man wearing a white T-shirt.
Gov. Brian Kemp issued a statement on Twitter Sunday night saying that his family is praying for Secoriea’s family.
There have been 75 shooting in Atlanta this month alone.
"Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms blasted protesters"!!! It is her fault the barricades were still up and the area was occupied, the protesters were not on public property, they had no right to take over the area!
KL Boittons, the bottom line is you didn't do your job and continue to do so:
Quote:ATLANTA — Police are responding to the second deadly shooting near the burned out Wendy's where Rayshard Brooks died in just 24 hours.
Last night, an 8-year-old was killed after an armed group of men shot into the car she was riding in as the driver tried to turn around.
On Sunday night around 7:30 p.m., officers responded to 1192 Pryor Street, next door to the Wendy’s, and found two people who appeared to have been shot.
A third victim arrived at Grady hospital a short time later.
Police said a 53-year-old man was dead at the scene. A second victim appeared to have been grazed by a bullet and was stable. The third victim was taken to the hospital by private vehicle. That person’s condition is unclear.
Channel 2′s Michael Seiden went to the scene to talk to police.
“The preliminary investigation indicates there was an exchange of gunfire between at least two people, resulting in three victims being struck,” police said.
Video at the scene appears to show a man being detained. It’s not clear if he was involved in the shooting.
Just an hour before this shooting occurred, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms appeared with the family of Secoriea Turner, the child killed last night, and said demonstrators at the Wendy’s would be cleared out.
Armed demonstrators have been occupying the Wendy’s since Brooks’ death.

So..then it is official ...cops shot no one here..
Just making sure the media does not try to fabricate another story.
Truth is, you would have been hard pressed to figure out if either the shooters or victim was African-American from the national stories filed (at least the ones I read). I was curious---and never could find that info until today. Why is that I wonder?
RE: Demonstrators Who Had Occupied Area Near Atlanta Wendy’s Apparently Shoot Little Girl
I guess no one told the demonstrators that Black Lives Matter. If only they had taken the time to paint Black Lives Matter in the middle of the street, perhaps this child could have been spared. It’s just disheartening knowing that if the demonstrators had understood that Black Lives Matter, another innocent life could have been saved.
It’s President Trump’s fault. If he would just stop white people from buying guns, these demonstrators wouldn’t have had to shoot this child.
Why does President Trump keep dividing us with his “All Lives Matter” rhetoric. If he would simply acknowledge that ONLY Black Lives Matter this little girl would still be alive.

The POTUS was not elected to run Atlanta, Keisha. you were the one who told APD to stand down, not Trump. Stop blaming him and do your job before GOV. Kemp does it for you.
