REUTERS/Alyssa Pointer/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsATLANTA, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Six Georgia state troopers will not face charges in the January shooting death of a protestor who fired at officers at the construction site of a controversial Atlanta police training center, prosecutors said on Friday. Teran, an Atlanta resident, fired four times and hit one trooper before other officers returned fire, fatally striking him, the report said. The announcement is the latest chapter in a two-year fight over an 85-acre (34.4 hectares) wooded site where the $90 million Atlanta Public Safety Training Center is being built. The property was frequently occupied by scores of protesters, who have dubbed it "Cop City."
