SAID
SAID EARLIER TODAY HE IS ASKING FOR PATIENTS AND GRACIOUSNESS
FROM THE CITY.
>> WE ALSO HEARD FROM GOVERNOR
KEMP AND BEFORE I TALK ABOUT
WHAT HE HAD TO SAY, WE ARE
SHOWING YOU THE WENDY'S.
THE FIRE HAD SPOKEN TO THE ROOF
OF THAT BUILDING.
WE SEE THE PLAYS THERE AND WE
TALKED TO AND ATLANTA FIRE
SERGEANT A WILEY GO WHO TOLD US
THAT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF
THE FIREFIGHTERS THAT THEY WERE
HAVING TROUBLE GETTING CLOSE TO
THE BUILDING AND NOW WE HAVE
SEEN THE FIRE MOVED FROM THE
DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOW
DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOW DINING AREA AND HAS BROKEN
THROUGH THE ROOF.
WE WILL CONTINUE SHARING THOSE
IMAGES WITH YOU.
TONIGHT, WE HAVE ALSO HEARD
FROM GOVERNOR BRIAN KEMP AND
TWEET THIS AFTERNOON ABOUT
THREE HOURS AGO, HE WROTE THE
ATLANTA POLICE DEPARTMENT
REQUEST, THE GBI LAUNCHED AN
INVESTIGATION INTO THE CONDUCT
OF THE TWO APD OFFICERS THAT
LED TO THE DEATH OF RAYSHARD
BROOKS . I AM CONFIDENT GBI
DIRECTOR VIC REYNOLDS AND HIS
TEAM WILL FIND THE FACTS TO
SHORT JUSTICES HEARD.
HE CONTINUED ON ANOTHER TWEET
SAYING "AS ALWAYS, WE STAND
READY TO PROVIDE RESOURCES INTO
SUPPORT TO PROTECT GEORGIANS
WHO ARE PEACEFULLY PROTESTING."
FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS
AFTERNOON, THESE PROTESTS WERE
VERY PEACEFUL.
VERY PEACEFUL. >> THE QUESTIONS CERTAINLY WILL
BE THE CURFEW WAS STOPPED A
WEEK AGO SATURDAY NIGHT,
EXACTLY A WEEK AGO.
THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS ABOUT
THAT IF THERE IS AN ADDED
CONCERN ABOUT THAT AND THERE
WILL BE MORE PROTEST IN TODAY'S
AHEAD AND CERTAINLY THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT PACK, A STATE OF
EMERGENCY HAS BEEN DECLARED BY
GOVERNOR KEMP AND IT WAS
TERMINATED WHERE IT BEGINS WITH
A COUPLE HUNDRED OF GEORGIA
NATIONAL GUARDSMEN ESCALATED TO
1500 BY THE TIME WE HAD GOTTEN
TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK
FOLLOWING THE DESTRUCTION.
>> AT SOME POINT THIS EVENING,
WE SAW TEARGAS WAS DEPLOYED
AMONG THE PROTESTERS.
NOTHING LIKE WE SAW IN THE
EARLY HOURS OF THE PROTEST THAT
STARTED TWO WEEKS AGO
CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC PARK.
NOTHING TO THAT MAGNITUDE.
AGAIN, WE ARE WATCHING AS THIS
FIRE BURNS THE LOCATION WHERE
THIS OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING
HAPPENED YESTERDAY AT 10:30
P.M.
P.M.
P.M. >>
P.M. >> IF THERE IS AN UPSIDE ON HIS
IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS
AREA AT ALL, THE PROXIMITY OF
THE WENDY'S TO OTHER BUILDINGS
THERE IS SOME DISTANCE. SO THE
FEAR OF THIS ABLAZE PERHAPS
SPREADING TO OTHER BUILDINGS IS
PROBABLY NOT REALISTIC, AT
LEAST FROM THE VANTAGE POINT IF
YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA.
THE BUILDING STANDS ALONE OFF
OF UNIVERSITY AVENUE OVER
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER
BUILDINGS AND BUSINESSES BUT
THEY ARE NOT, THEY ARE NOT RIGHT
ON TOP OF THAT WENDY'S.
TONIGHT, THAT IS A REALLY GOOD
THING AS THE WENDY'S IS COMING
UP AND IS GOING UP IN FLAMES.
AGAIN, FROM SKY TRACKER OVER
THERE YOU CAN SEE THE WENDY'S
ABLAZE.
ABLAZE.
ABLAZE. THE VEGETATION FIBERS TO THE
RIGHT AND LEFT BUT IT BEGAN IN
THE DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOW
APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTES AGO
AND IT HAS NOW GROWN.
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT ATLANTA
FIRE WILL NOT BE GOING IN THERE
TO PUT THIS OUT.
THERE HAD INITIALLY BEEN SOME
CONCERN AS SERGEANT CORTEZ
STAFFORD FROM ATLANTA FIRE HAD
TOLD US IF THEY COULD GET THEIR
TRUCKS IN THERE SAFELY WITH AN
ESCORT OF IT WITH THE POLICE,
THEY WOULD HOPE TO BE ABLE TO
PUT OUT BUT AT THIS POINT, WE
DON'T SEE ANY SIGN THAT ATLANTA
FIRE WILL BE GOING IN THERE
ANYTIME SOON.
ANYTIME SOON. PERHAPS THAT CHANGES.
OUR TIME RIGHT NOW IS
TRAFFIC BEGINNING TO MOVE A
LITTLE BIT ON THE FREEWAY.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE UPDATES
