Girl, 8, fatally shot near Rayshard Brooks’ memorial site
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms told protesters Sunday to "clear out" of an area near where Rayshard Brooks was killed by police last month after an 8-year-old girl was fatally shot near the site over the weekend. Bottoms said the girl, Secoriea Turner, was shot Saturday night while riding in a car with her mother and a friend after they tried to pull into a parking lot. The site had been barricaded after Brooks was killed June 12 at a Wendy's parking lot south of downtown Atlanta, prompting weeks of protests against racial injustice and police brutality.
