Now In Atlanta: Two suspected robbers die in a SUV wreck in northwest Atlanta.
Police say two suspected robbers died in a SUV wreck in northwest Atlanta.
The accident happened at Joseph Lowery Boulevard near Wheeler Street in northwest Atlanta.
Police say the crash may be tied to a robbery that happened near Atlantic Station and that they were possibly being followed by their victims.
“We were not involved in any type of pursuit, resulting in this accident,” said Atlanta Police Department’s Sgt. Greg Lyon. “There is a possibility, that the victims were following the perpetrators. But all of that is being verified right now."
The victims, a man and a woman, were already at the scene when police arrived.
When the car was inspected, police say they recovered what they believe are the stolen items.
Police say the Jeep probably hit a train crossing on Lowery Boulevard, lost control, hit a fire hydrant, then hit a silver power pole before going up an embankment.
The Jeep was so smashed; firefighters had to actually cut the top off to get the two men out.

Chris Brown charged with assault in DC
Chris Brown was arrested early Sunday in Washington after a fight broke out near the W Hotel, police said, complicating an already snarled legal history for the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer.
Brown, 24, was charged with felony assault in an incident that started just before 4:30 a.m., D.C. police spokesman Paul Metcalf said Sunday morning. Chris Hollosy, 35, also was arrested on felony assault charges, Metcalf said. Police believe the two men were together during the incident but said they couldn't confirm any relationship between the suspects.
Brown and Hollosy were being held in police custody until Monday, Metcalf said.
A man was injured in the fight and reportedly taken to a hospital, police said, but they did not identify him or give details on his injuries. It was not clear whether the victim was taken by ambulance or another vehicle. He had been released from the hospital as of early Sunday afternoon, Metcalf said.

Kwame Kilpatrick, former Detroit mayor, sentenced to 28 years in prison for corruption

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced Thursday to 28 years in prison for corruption, the apparent last step after a series of scandals destroyed his political career and helped steer a crisis-laden city even deeper into trouble.
Kilpatrick, who served as mayor from 2002 until fall 2008, fattened his bank account by tens of thousands of dollars, traveled the country in private planes and even strong-armed his campaign fundraiser for stacks of cash hidden in her bra, according to evidence at trial.
"I'm ready to go so the city can move on," Kilpatrick told the judge. "The people here are suffering, they're hurting. A great deal of that hurt I accept responsibility for."
