Georgia officials examine threats to Arbery case protesters

ATLANTA (AP) – Officials in Georgia say they are investigating an online threat against people protesting the killing of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery.

Authorities say Arbery, a black man, died at the hands of two white men in February near the coastal city of Brunswick as he ran through a neighborhood.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation on Sunday said the threat relates to future protests and it is “actively investigating.”

Spokesperson Nelly Miles declined to provide further information.

Several hundred people protested the case Friday in Brunswick.

National outrage over the case swelled last week after video surfaced that appeared to show the shooting.
