OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Donald Bonner Jr. was allegedly in his backyard firing a gun when police were sent. He allegedly got into a spat with them and according to police, he uttered verbal threats to kill police but he is not reported as making hostile gestures and instead went inside of his house in a gesture that he wanted no conflict with police. Police invited Georgia State Patrol and a SWAT team to the home to serve Bonner with warrants for either firing shots in his backyard or issuing alleged verbal threats to police. Several law enforcement agencies besieged the home with militarized SWAT. Police saw Bonner behind his own home, allegedly with a gun. Police shot and killed him. Throughout this ordeal, it does not appear that he was a physical threat to police and he seemed to only want to retreat after whatever he said that escalated police into this killing.
