The Detroit News. The former black militant once known as H. Rap Brown was being sought today after two deputies were shot in an exchange of gunfire as they tried to serve a warrant accusing him of theft and impersonating an officer.
Authorities believe the suspect also was wounded.
It wasn't known if Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, as Brown is now known, fired the shots that wounded the Fulton County officers Thursday night, sheriff's spokesman Capt. David Chadd said. The officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect outside the address of an Atlanta community store listed on the warrant. Police in neighboring Fulton County had said earlier that the warrant was for aggravated assault. Black folks built America, and if America don't come around, we're going to burn America down.
