Autopsy reveals Atlanta protester sustained 57 gunshot wounds in "Cop City" protest.

An environmental activist, Manuel Esteban Paez “Tortuguita” Terán, who was killed while protesting a planned law enforcement training facility in Atlanta, sustained at least 57 gunshot wounds, according to a county medical examiner report. The autopsy report leaves unanswered questions about whether there was forensic evidence proving that Terán fired a gun. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has said officers shot Terán after the activist shot and seriously wounded a state trooper, but fellow protesters and Terán’s family have disputed that account. The GBI has completed its investigation and given the casefile to the Mountain Circuit District Attorney’s Office.
