Atlanta police chief resigns after black man fatally shot in struggle after sobriety test

ATLANTA - Atlanta's police chief resigned Saturday, less than 24 hours after a black man was killed by a police officer in a struggle following a field sobriety test.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced during a news conference that she had accepted the resignation of Police Chief Erika Shields.

Atlanta police were called to a Wendy's restaurant on a complaint that a man was sleeping in a car blocking the drive-thru lane as customers waited in line, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. The agency identified the man who was fatally shot as 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks.
