Runoff Set in GA-14 Race, Fulton Judge Ruling, GBI Probes Atlanta Shooting

It’s a busy week across metro Atlanta, with political developments and a new state investigation drawing attention.

GA-14 Special Election Heads to Runoff

Voters in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District will return to the polls after no candidate secured a majority in Tuesday’s special election. The race is to replace former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clay Fuller advanced to a runoff scheduled for April 7. The contest has drawn statewide and national interest, with high-profile endorsements and heavy turnout across northwest Georgia. While the district is outside the city, the outcome could shape the political landscape across metro Atlanta and beyond.

Fulton Judge Limits DA’s Role in Fee Dispute

In Fulton County, a Superior Court judge ruled that District Attorney Fani Willis cannot intervene in a legal dispute over attorney’s fees tied to a now-dismissed election interference case.

The decision narrows the scope of the DA’s involvement in ongoing legal wrangling connected to the high-profile prosecution. The ruling adds another layer to a case that has kept Atlanta at the center of national political and legal conversations.

GBI Investigates Officer-Involved Shooting in Atlanta

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is reviewing an officer-involved shooting that occurred along Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta. According to state officials, the incident involved Atlanta police and a 23-year-old man.

Details remain limited as investigators work to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The GBI’s involvement follows standard procedure in cases where law enforcement uses deadly force.

Authorities say more information will be released once the investigation progresses.
