Developing story
in Georgia, where church pastor Jonathan Ayers was shot and killed by
undercover narcotics officers during a botched drug sting on Tuesday
afternoon. Ayers was not the target of the investigation.
Police were apparently after a woman Ayers had dropped off just
prior to stopping at the convenience store where police confronted him.
Surveillance video shows
a black SUV pulling up to the store, and plain-clothes officers jumping
out with their guns drawn before the vehicle has stopped. Ayers’ car
then backs into the picture, and the officers fire into his car as he
drives off. Ayers was shot in the liver, crashed his car a short
distance later, and died at the hospital the bullet wound.
