Atlanta Police are investigating 14 more shootings as another wave of gun violence swept the city during NBA All-Star Weekend.

Atlanta Police had pledged a “zero tolerance” policy for lawbreakers during the weekend, where the NBA All-Star Game was played at a pandemic-closed State Farm Arena. Around 1,500 people were socially distanced inside the 17,000-seat arena, including some invited frontline workers, HBCU students and faculty, and friends and family of players.
