All this comes as city leaders scramble to get a hold on the gun violence in Atlanta. The Atlanta City Council will consider legislation to create a public safety commission to figure out how to tackle the crime in the city. It would be comprised of people from all over the city, including law enforcement, fire and emergency personnel - along with people from the judicial system.
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms also issued a statement Monday evening about the weekend crime.
"Atlantans deserve and expect a safe community," she said. "As our Administration continues to put considerable resources towards ending this COVID crime wave, the Anti-Violence Advisory Committee will begin work this week to make additional recommendations to help improve public safety throughout our city.”
