APD is investigating a shooting at River Park Towers. We do not believe this incident represents a threat to the campus at this time.

Into the building full of smoke to get people out. When shots were fired at Halloween and people ran, officers ran towards them. 2/3

If you see a cop patrolling your neighborhood, or walking down the street, be sure to take just a minute out of your day, and say thanks!

Regardless if YOU believe minorities experience racism in their interactions with police, the fact that THEY feel they are is what matters

That's why a dialogue needs to be opened between those who experience these negative interactions and the police and broader community.

Athens departments have been doing a lot of community events and opening dialogue, we need this to become commonplace across the nation.
