Claudy Pierre Jules, 41, was shot on Saturday after three officers were injured while responding to an armed person call.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens condemned whoever is responsible for destroying eight police motorcycles with explosives over the weekend, calling them “outrageous, dangerous and violent criminals.” Firefighters found multiple motorcycles on fire in a parking deck and evidence of “incendiary devices.” “The attack utilized extremely dangerous, homemade incendiary devices to set on fire and completely destroy eight police motorcycles,” Dickens said.
APD Chief Scheirbaum said the requested budget bump is to help with hiring, expand its camera systems and create new units -- including one for mental health calls.
Atlanta Police said it arrested 35 people Sunday in what it described as a "coordinated attack" on the site where a police training facility is being built.
