Seventeen-year-old Curry Carr was among the hundreds of Atlantans that gathered Friday for an evening demonstration following this week's officer-involved shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota.

The upcoming Decatur High School senior spoke in front of a large crowd of fellow attendees.

"When I wake up every morning," he said, "I am afraid to see what has happened and what injustice has been done the day before."

During a peaceful protest in Dallas Thursday evening, a sniper opened fire and fatally shot five officers, authorities confirmed.

Seven other officers and two civilians were also injured in the shooting.
