Another lawsuit against Atlanta police

The family of a 92-year-old woman gunned down by Atlanta police filed a lawsuit against the city today on the one-year anniversary of the killing. The lawsuit was filed by a niece of Kathryn Johnston. It alleges racketeering, civil rights violations, assault, false imprisonment and negligence. Undercover officers killed Johnston last November when she opened fire on them as they forced their way into her home with a no-knock warrant.
