News Suspect in Clark Atlanta University shooting escapes
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 7:44 PM
The AJC reports one of the two suspects arrested after yesterday's shoot-out with police at Clark Atlanta University escaped shortly after being taken into custody.
I would tell you his name, give you a description, or post a photo, but the APD hasn't made any of that information available. The department's media advisory web page hasn't been updated in more than a month.
UPDATE 5: WSB reports the escaped suspect was caught today.
UPDATE 4: WSB reports the suspect escaped police headquarters YESTERDAY. I corrected the description above to reflect that.
So the guy escapes yesterday and police wait at least 14 hours to tell the public? And still no photo or name?
UPDATE 3: Atlanta Police has a Twitter account. It contains no information about the escaped suspect. In fact, the page is completely blank.
UPDATE 2: WSB has video footage of the escape, but still no name or mug shot.
UPDATE: Atlanta police say the escaped suspect is wearing a red t-shirt and jeans with a large rip on the left leg. Why police aren't sharing the suspect's name or circulating a photograph is a mystery.

Wow, a lack of leadership from Richard Pennington and the rest of the idiotic brass over at APD? I can't believe it. I feel bad for the cops at APD who are competent in their jobs and try to do the right thing.
