The scene where Adam English was shot by police Sept. 20, 2019, after reports he was waving a gun around in the parking lot of Northeast Georgia Physicians Group Surgical Associates on Jesse Jewell Parkway in Gainesville. This photo was obtained as part of an open records request with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
To believe the family expert for Adam English, his death outside of a medical building in Gainesville was the result of “contagious shooting” by police officers. To believe the police officers’ expert, everything fell under established guidelines for containing an imminent threat to the community.
