An employee sent to repair surveillance cameras commits acts of vandalism near the so-called “Police City” says he fired while at work. This happened Monday afternoon at Key Road and Woodham Way, near the questionable educational center planned for first responders in Atlanta.
ATLANTA – New main points are emerging around a questionable plan to build an education center for first responders in DeKalb County. Someone opened fire on an employee sent to fix surveillance cameras on the network near the so-called “City of Police. “
It’s Monday afternoon at Key Road and Woodham Way.
FOX Five reported that vandals were destroying cameras in the neighborhood. Neighbors, this is similar to the controversy over the middle school project.
Marc Bolden is the president of the Boulder Walk Homeowners Association. He said a Flock Safety technician came to him to fix the hereras.
“When the technician came out, they were met with gunfire,” Bolden said. “The shots were fired from inside the fence, at one o’clock in the afternoon, I think, in broad daylight. “
Video posted on FOX Five shows vandals shooting down surveillance cameras and spreading spray-painted vulgarities on the property of homeowners in that neighborhood. It’s right next to the planned middle for Atlanta police and first responders that some call “Cop City. “
The Atlanta Police Foundation plans to build the center on 85 acres along Key Road. The remaining 265 acres would be maintained as green space. However, many belligerent parties emerged who protested against the site. They see it as the expansion of the police state. They believe it threatens the Atlanta Forest.

DeKalb County police verify that they have discovered shell casings in the area. It’s unclear that the shootings are similar to the ongoing protests.
Homeowners like Marcus Hunter can’t know what’s going on in their neighborhood.
“Now that’s the goal. Now violence is at the center. Now vandalism is at the center,” Hunter said. With the shots at the coach, I think it takes him to a new level. “
Flock, the company that installed the cameras, commented on the latest incident.
DeKalb County police said there were no injuries or property damaged.
The HOA said this by calling on police to step up patrols.
