THE GUN AND THE BAG, part 2: Waving a gun, 'no care in the world,' then police arrive
09182021 ENGLISHfowlerbodycam.jpg
This screen grab is taken from former Gainesville police officer Jonathan Fowler's bodycam footage on Sept. 20, 2019, approximately two seconds before officers opened fire on Adam English. The original footage is dark, so this image has been color-corrected to lighten it to allow a better view of what officers saw. The red streak is a lens flare.
Adam English was at a cookout with his family in the hours before he was shot by police in Gainesville, his aunt, Stormy Russell, said. Later that day, he was in the Gainesville area seeking treatment for substance use issues. He had “reached out to a local facility in order to begin receiving services for mental health," Russell said. Just before 5 p.m. Sept. 20, 2019, he was shot by police outside the Northeast Georgia Physicians’ Group Surgical Associates on Jesse Jewell Parkway in Gainesville.
