ATLANTA – Investigators said Saturday they have issued an arrest warrant for a woman in connection with a fire at a Wendy's restaurant in Atlanta during protests over the police shooting of an African American man. Several people are suspected of trying to set fires in the restaurant before the blaze finally spread, fire officials said. Atlanta police officers were called to the Wendy’s on June 12 over complaints of a car blocking the drive-thru lane. On Saturday, a restaurant owner and a historically Black university in Atlanta announced that they will provide full college scholarships to his four children. The award will cover tuition, room and board, and meals to Clark Atlanta University.
