Protesters Denounce Atlanta Police Shooting of Unarmed Man 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
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.
