“#Georgia Gov. Kemp authorizes National Guard after 8-year-old killed<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n ATLANTA \u2014 Georgia\u2019s governor on Monday declared a state of emergency and authorized the activation of up to 1,000 National Guard troops after a weekend of violence in Atlanta left five people dead, including an 8-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

A statement from Gov. Brian Kemp\u2019s office says troops will provide support at certain locations including the Capitol and governor\u2019s mansion, freeing up state law enforcement resources to patrol other areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeaceful protests were hijacked by criminals with a dangerous, destructive agenda. Now, innocent Georgians are being targeted, shot, and left for dead,\u201d the Republican governor said. \u201cThis lawlessness must be stopped and order restored in our capital city.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saturday night\u2019s fatal shooting of Secoriea Turner, 8, prompted a $10,000 reward for information as authorities searched for at least two people who opened fire on the car she was riding in near a flashpoint of recent protests.<\/p>\n

Officers returned to the scene late Sunday to investigate another shooting, steps away from where Secoriea was shot, that left one person dead at the scene and two others injured.<\/p>\n

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms called for justice in Secoriea\u2019s death during an emotional news<\/a> conference Sunday with the girl\u2019s grief-stricken mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t blame this on a police officer,\u201d the mayor said. \u201cYou can\u2019t say this about criminal justice reform. This is about some people carrying some weapons who shot up a car with an 8-year-old baby in the car for what?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEnough is enough,\u201d Bottoms, who is Black, continued. \u201cIf you want people to take us seriously and you don\u2019t want us to lose this movement, we can\u2019t lose each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The killing happ<\/a>ened near the Wendy\u2019s restaurant where a Black man,\u00a0Rayshard Brooks, was killed by a white police officer June 12. The fast food outlet was later burned, and the area has since become a site for frequent demonstrations against police brutality.<\/p>\n

Earlier Monday, Atlanta police helped as sanitation crews cleared the area around the torched Wendy\u2019s. Flowers and memorials to Brooks, as well as posters with messages protesting police brutality, were cleared away.<\/p>\n

Secoriea was slain during a particularly violent night in Atlanta on Saturday. Kemp\u2019s office said that over thirty people were wounded by gunfire, including five dead, over the holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

Kemp addressed the shootings on social media<\/a> on Sunday night, saying the \u201crecent trend of lawlessness is outrageous and unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGeorgians, including those in uniform, need to be protected from crime and violence,\u201d Kemp tweeted. \u201cWhile we stand ready to assist local leaders in restoring peace and maintaining order, we won\u2019t hesitate to take action without them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The order says the declaration of a state of emergency is justified by \u201cunlawful assemblage, violence, overt threats of violence, disruption of the peace and tranquility of this state and danger existing to persons and property.\u201d The order is to remain in effect until at least June 13.<\/p>\n

Authorities said Secoriea was in the car with her mother and another adult when the driver tried to drive through illegally placed barricades to get to a parking lot in the area. Armed individuals blocking the entrance opened fire on the vehicle, striking it multiple times and killing the child, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was only 8 years old,\u201d said her mother, Charmaine Turner. \u201cShe would have been on Tik Tok dancing on her phone, just got done eating. We understand the frustration of Rayshard Brooks. We didn\u2019t have anything to do with that. We\u2019re innocent. My baby didn\u2019t mean no harm.\u201d<\/p>\n

The girl just wanted to get home to see her cousins, said her father, Secoriya Williamson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey say Black lives matter,\u201d he said. \u201cYou killed your own.\u201d<\/p>\n

A 53-year-old man was also fatally shot over the weekend near the restaurant, Kemp noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt that location, city officials have failed to quell ongoing violence with armed individuals threatening citizens, shooting at passersby, blocking streets, destroying local businesses, and defying orders to disperse,\u201d his order says.<\/p>\n

The governor also cited vandalism at the Georgia Department of Public Safety headquarters early Sunday. The order says several dozen people \u201carmed with rocks, spray paint, and fireworks\u201d broke windows and tried to set fire to the building.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Bottoms didn\u2019t immediately respond to requests for comment about the governor\u2019s authorization of Guard troops.<\/p>\n

In Washington, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany lamented at Monday\u2019s news briefing that she was not asked by reporters about weekend killings in Atlanta and other major U.S. cities. McEnany said she was asked \u201cprobably 12 questions about the Confederate flag\u201d and was dismayed that she did not get one about the weekend shootings. She also said comments by Secoriea\u2019s father \u201cbroke my heart.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
