Anne Worrell, the wife of a jogger who was shot in Buckhead, Georgia, told "America’s Newsroom" on Thursday that residents of the wealthy Atlanta suburb are leaving the area due to the surge in crime amid the push to defund the police.

"Over the last 12 to 18 months it has just gotten worse and worse, and as you talk to other people that we know in the area, we just felt it creeping closer and closer into our neighborhood. So it has been felt by everybody here," Worrell acknowledged.

On Tuesday, Atlanta police had arrested a 22-year-old man for shooting at three people – wounding a local father of three who was out for his morning walk – and subsequently injuring a man after hitting him with his car during a crime spree through one of the state’s wealthiest zip codes over the weekend, according to authorities.

Andrew Worrell was walking in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood around 8:35 a.m. Saturday when he was shot twice, according to police and his wife, Anne.

The gunman, identified by authorities as 22-year-old Gaelen Newsom, first shot Worrell in the leg, then fired another round as "Andrew turned to run," Anne Worrell wrote. "The second shot went through Andrew’s hip and into his ball-and-socket joint, then into his lower abdomen before landing in his right hip," she continued.

Yard sign neither.

Does no one recall why "white flight" was a thing?

After Rudy cleaned up NY and the whites felt safe to return, they called it gentrification.

It’s getting to the point major cities will need to be cleaned out block by block

The mislabeling of Buckhead as a suburb over and over is pathetic

What the hell do journalists actually do these days?

You people are so quick to jump to conclusions. Have you ever considered that the young man may have been molested by white joggers when he was a child?

If I were to randomly choose a time where I thought I am least likely to be randomly shot walking through my neighborhood, it would be 8:35am on a Saturday morning. This is insane.

I'm not Catholic and I shite on lefty Catholics a lot, but in my experience devout Catholics tend to be conservative. Moreover these appear to be decent people victimized by a thug, so until/unless it's obvious they're woke or Democrats I don't see how it makes sense to throw blame at them based on wild speculation.

White females in Atlanta suburbs probably went 70/30 Biden, those sorts of statements are grounded in statistics.

Buckhead isn't a suburb, it's a traditionally center-right neighborhood in Atlanta proper. So it's an assumption based on unsourced statistics which aren't even relevant.
