The former officer who killed Rayshard Brooks last summer is fighting to get his job back.
ATLANTA - A civil service board will soon make a decision on the fate of Garrett Rolfe, the former Atlanta police officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks outside a southwest Atlanta fast-food restaurant last summer.
Rolfe claims the city wrongfully terminated him and now he wants his job back with back pay.
Thursday, a hearing was held to determine that issue.
"You shot three bullets at Rayshard Brooks while he was running away and struck him twice, killing him, is that correct?" asked city attorney Allegra Lawrence Hardy during the hearing.
