The @braves reserved a section and placed American flags over thirteen seats at yesterday’s game to honor the US service members we lost in Afghanistan in multiple attacks at the #Kabul airport last week. These attacks marked the deadliest day for the US Military in Afghanistan since 2011. Chaos in Kabul continues amid Afghanistan’s mass evacuations/terror threats after an abrupt US Military withdrawal last week. At least 169 Afghan civilians were killed in these devastating attacks, according to the Pentagon and Associated Press. A final count will take more time. Pray for our heroes and Afghans overseas who are fighting for their lives. 🇺🇸Navy Hospital Corpsman Max Soviak, 22 🇺🇸Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola, 20 🇺🇸Marine Corps Lance Cpl.

On Monday, August 23, 2021, Atlanta Police Field Investigative Team (FIT) Officers were advised that a stolen white Toyota Tundra was traveling in the area of 275 Central Ave SW. Officers were able to locate the stolen vehicle, and upon sight of officers, the driver of the vehicle fled the area. The vehicle continued towards I-75-85 NB and then entered the Downtown Connector and continued North through Midtown. The driver proceeded onto I-85 NB and exited at the Buford Hwy Connector. With the assistance from the Air Unit, Phoenix, officers were able to locate then stolen vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop using their emergency equipment in the area of Piedmont Rd NE at Lakeshore Dr NE. Phoenix monitored and tracked the vehicle as it continued southbound towards Piedmont Cir NE, at which time the driver crashed into an occupied Honda Accord. That collision also caused an additional accident with a Dodge Ram. The occupants of the vehicle received minor, non-life-threatening injuries. After the wreck, the driver and passenger of the stolen vehicle abandoned the truck and fled the scene on foot. Phoenix maintained a visual of the fleeing suspects, and provided directional awareness for officers on the ground. After a brief foot chase, officers were able to successfully capture both suspects. Three firearms were recovered — two of the weapons were found to be stolen. Illegal narcotics were also recovered on scene. Officers recovered the vehicle which was confirmed to be stolen out of Clayton County, GA.

Traffic is about to get dramatically worse as construction peaks at I-285/GA 400. The weekend after Labor Day, the GDOT will shrink the perimeter from five lanes to three in each direction from Roswell Rd. to Ashford Dunwoody Rd. The reduction in lanes could last until next summer. The closures will add roughly a half-hour to commutes, per trip, for drivers who must pass through that section of the Perimeter, per GDOT’s estimations. 🎥: @drone_golf 👏
