ATHENS-CLARK COUNTY, Ga. — Athens-Clarke County police released the body-cam footage Thursday showing what happened on the night of April 20 when an officer fatally shot a 63-year-old man.
“It is my opinion that this shooting was justified,” Athens-Clarke Deputy Police Chief Jeff Clark said during a news conference held to release the video.
“I don’t want to influence the GBI operation or investigation, but based on the law the officer was protecting himself and not only him but another officer from a serious threat,” Clark said.
