At least 36 people have been arrested in Atlanta after police fired tear gas at protesters and shut down an interstate as a Wendy's where an Atlanta police officer shot and killed a black man was set on fire, CNN reported citing the Atlanta Police spokesman.

One of the officers involved in the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks was dismissed and another was placed on administrative duty. Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields said in a statement that she had stepped down from her role out of "a deep and abiding love for this city and this department," according to the report.
