Athens-Clarke County’s Police Chief says two officers were justified when they shot and killed a man last month. Officer Kyle Blagg and Sergeant Rich McDougald both shot 22-year-old Cesar Wilfredo Lopez June 24th. Lopez was a suspected gang member. Chief Jack Lumpkin says the officers actions were "in accordance with Georgia state law and the policies of the Athens-Clarke County Police Department." The officers may soon return to duty.
