This was the major discovery that emerged from an exhaustive review of police shootings, the first of its kind in Georgia. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News collected and analyzed data on 184 fatal police shootings since 2010.
“It’s very, very troubling,” said one expert interviewed by the AJC. “You can’t just shoot somebody that’s running away from you.”
