Officers Charged In Rayshard Brooks' Death Turn Themselves In
Garrett Rolfe and Devin Brosnan, the arresting officers involved in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks, turned themselves in on Thursday.
Prosecutors on Wednesday filed 11 counts against Rolfe, the white officer who shot the 27-year-old black man in the back during an attempted arrest last week.
On Wednesday night, the department acknowledged that it was dealing with a "higher than usual number" of callouts among officers.
"We do have enough officers to cover us through the night," Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms told CNN on Wednesday.
Vince Champion, the Southeast regional director of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers — a national union representing many of the Atlanta officers — did not respond immediately to NPR's request for comment.
