Atlanta riots erupt downtown amid 'Cop City' backlash
Fox News
Rioters aimed fireworks and rocks at the Atlanta Police Foundation building on Saturday evening, according to video of the scene.
"An individual, without warning, shot a Georgia State Patrol trooper," Georgia Bureau of Investigations Michael Register told reporters earlier this week. "Other law enforcement personnel returned fire in self-defense and evacuated the trooper to a safe area. The individual who fired upon law enforcement and shot the trooper was killed in the exchange of gunfire."
Teran was an activist working against the development of the City of Atlanta's Public Safety Training Center, and his fellow activists vowed to protest against the facility and police after his death.
The protest began peacefully on Saturday before spiraling into chaos, according to FOX 5.
