WABE's Week In Review

Atlanta mourns after another mass shooting and advocates call for Stewart Detention shutdown after another death

May 6, 2023

A mass shooting in midtown Atlanta on Wednesday left one person dead and four others injured. The suspect was captured after nearly an eight-hour manhunt. Fulton District Attorney tells WABE she is closely watching the New York case against former President Donald Trump as she weighs a possible indictment for election meddling. And immigrant advocates are again calling for the federal government to shut down Stewart Detention Center in Southwest Georgia after another death at the facility. Plus, the family of Lashawn Thompson is asking the Fulton County Board of Commissioners for accountability. The 35-year-old man died last year, covered in bed bugs, in the psychiatric wing of the Fulton County Jail.
