Police shooting in downtown Atlanta leaves 1 man dead

ATLANTA (AP) — Police officers ducked behind cars as gunshots whizzed through a busy part of downtown Atlanta, killing a South Carolina man who engaged officers in the gunfight, authorities said. The shootout Monday night was near the Aloft Atlanta Downtown hotel — a few blocks from many of the city's larger, high-rise convention hotels and offices that help fuel the city's billion-dollar hospitality and tourism industry. When the officer attempted to stop the Jeep, the vehicle sped up, struck a shuttle bus and then hit a pole, Lee said. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which investigates some officer-involved shootings when agencies make a request, is not investigating this case, GBI spokesman Scott Dutton told The Associated Press.
