Reaction to the shooting death of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner
Secoriea Turner was shot and killed while sitting in a car across the street from the Wendy's parking lot where Rayshard Brooks was killed by a police officer.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms had strong words for the protesters who have gathered at the restaurant since Brooks’ death.

“You shot and killed a baby,” Bottoms said. “And there wasn’t just one shooter, there were at least two shooters.”
Bottoms isn’t the only person to react to the 8-year-old’s death. People took to social media to share their thoughts.
Forget right vs left....Antifa or BLM. This beautiful child is dead because we, all of humanity, failed her. To the parents of Secoriea Turner. I am so sorry.

Hey @keishabottoms, two words for you:

Secoriea Turner.
If her name doesn't become as famous as Rayshard Brooks;
if there are not national protests in her name;
if her funeral is not televised;
...then don't talk about how racism is what harms black lives. #AllBlackLivesMatter
