HeadlineMar 12, 2015

Protesters gathered near Atlanta on Wednesday to protest the police shooting of an unarmed African-American man. Anthony Hill was reportedly running naked around an apartment complex when a white officer opened fire. A witness said Hill had approached the officer with his hands raised in the air. The officer reportedly appeared shocked after pulling the trigger, sitting in the streets with his head in his hands. Hill was 27 years old, an Air Force veteran and an aspiring musician. He had bipolar disorder and was reportedly in the midst of a mental episode when he was shot dead.
