Atl PD to Release Records on Elderly Shooting

Officials at the Atlanta Police Department are scheduled to release records involving the police killing of 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston to a citizen review board. The board's director, Cristina Beamud, said some records were scheduled to be delivered on Monday. The Atlanta City Council issued a subpoena last month ordering the police department to give records to the Atlanta Citizen Review Board concerning the Johnston case and the December 2008 fatal police shooting of robbery suspect Pierre George. Prosecutors are still investigating the George shooting. The police department is still conducting an internal investigation into the Johnston killing.
