One went back inside, but the other ran from the police and began hopping fences, according to police. Police say, at some point, Bailey seriously injured his leg and was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he later died.
Reports circled on social media claiming that Bailey had been shot by police. Atlanta police confirmed that their officers never fired their weapons during the incident.
