Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced Tuesday he would deploy 105 medically trained National Guard personnel to hospitals across the state, including Southeast Georgia Health System in Brunswick.

Brian Kemp on Monday issued an executive order declaring a State of Emergency across Georgia and authorizes the activation of as many as 1,000 Georgia National Guard troops. Protesters caused extensive damage to the Georgia State Patrol headquarters in Atlanta early Sunday by sparking flames inside the building with fireworks, breaking windows and spraying graffiti, the agency said. Department of Public Safety workers put out the fire, and two employees were treated for smoke inhalation, Georgia State Patrol Lt. Stephanie Stallings said in a statement. Smoke could be seen through a glass window of the building after a red flash was seen inside. As many as 100 people dressed in dark clothing and wearing masks were outside the building, Stallings said.
