ATLANTA - Atlanta Police are dropping charges against five youths in a police shooting case that left another teenager dead. <br> <br> The incident is still being investigated by the district attorney&#39;s office, which could bring charges later. <br> <br> Atlanta police officer Raymond Bunn shot and killed 18-year-old Corey Ward in the Buckhead section of Atlanta in mid-July. Bunn had said he had ordered Ward to stop the Chevy Tahoe he was driving. <br> <br> But police said Ward continued driving and hit the officer, who then shot the teenager. <br> <br> Four teenagers with Ward were charged with obstruction of an officer and breaking into a vehicle. Charges against a fifth person, a minor who was also riding with Ward, have also been dismissed.
