This is a breaking news situation.
A man entered a courtroom in the Fulton County Courthouse this morning and shot a Fulton County Sheriff's deputy, a clerk and a judge; there are reports from both WSB and WAGA, the judge is deceased.
The perp has carjacked multiple vehicles -- now on his third -- and is still at large.
I've just come from downtown Atlanta, and the city is a madhouse.
Howlin, all I said was I hate to see people choosing not to participate. I do.
Actually, I believe this one was one of the good guys. But regardless, no one deserves this.
FOX News Channel first to report that car is found.......
Radio has had this for a while.........
CNN and MSNBC trying to find gun-control angle on this story and how it links to Bush.........
Yep- they found the green Honda- now apparently they're looking for another green vehicle- SUV I think.
The jury was not in court yet- he shot the court reporter and judge in the head.
Good job!
So is my husband. Actually, he's a readjuster, if you know what that is.
I once asked him why you all didn't pay these people I was deposing and he said, "Hey, we're already paid the people who have legitimate claims." ;-)
I want them off the bench, not brutally murdered.
Not according to a report I just heard. He took his time once he got the gun, ordering people to be handcuffed, then killing the judge nice and deliberate-like.
Well, snapped in the sense that any sense of morality just broke completely. The first one is expensive, after that they are free. Here's hoping he's not captured alive; he will be practically a hero in prison.
Agreed. While I certainly have strong feelings against activist judges, I don't wish them to be murdered in cold blood. Let's stay human, shall we?
Might only mean he's got another car already.
Good grief.
What a sick statement.
Waiting to hear the details repeated. Surfed over to CNN and they did have one of their guys say the guy took the courtroom hostage before shooting.
Did not hear the handcuff detail again, so am not sure how accurate that was. But it is starting to sound like this wasn't a flash of activity but a methodical plan.
Inappropriate. Absolutely inappropriate. I will hit abuse on this in order to save you more embarrassment.
Rut Row sometimes our typing gets ahead of our thinkin' huh?
I did NOT choose to duck my responsibility; I was honest about what I could and could not do in that particular trial.
Completely out of line.
Hearing that also...they might have found that car. Now, perhaps a second alert for another car - also green. An Azuzu (?)
