Statement on Overnight Shootings

ATLANTA—Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms issued the following statement.

“I commend law enforcement for their quick work in arresting a suspect in the tragic shootings on yesterday. A motive is still not clear, but a crime against any community is a crime against us all.  I have remained in close contact with the White House and APD as they work with federal, state and local partners to investigate the suspect who is responsible for this senseless violence in our city.

“My prayers are with the families and friends of the victims whose lives were cut short by these shootings.”
