Fulton Co. Judge shot and killed in courthouse shooting (BREAKING Fri 9A)
WAGA-TV/WSB-TV Atlanta | 3.11.05

Posted on 03/11/2005 6:39:06 AM PST by mhking

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.

I stand by my statement that if the judge is a liberal leftist demoncRAT-prone activist judge

Do you have ANY evidence to back up that assumption? I thought not. Do something productive and research him.

He is the judge who ordered a woman to get sterilized after she murdered her child. Is that your definition of a liberal?

And here's what he told a defendant after sentencing him to life in prison plus 5 years," In imposing sentence Judge Barnes said he’d heard of the “some other dude did it” defense, but told McCord his “some other dude who was in jail did it” defense did not work." Does he still sound like a liberal to you?

Well, I came in at #67 or somewhere around there and was asking what was going on and somebody said "Don't you bother to read the thread," so I know where you are coming from!

What a loss. Thanks for the report; CNN saying deputy who lost her weapon in the courtroom is expected to be okay. She was shot through the mouth.

Deputy who was on the street has been on the force since 1987 I think they said.

Someone mentioned that this dead judge has a "beautiful daughter".

Can we ALL stop our breathless commentary on this tragic even for 60 seconds and offer a prayer of strength for that judges daughter?

I have three daughters and I know how special they all think a daddy is.

This girl must be crushed that her dad has been killed.

It could make the difference in whether we have another victim of this animal.

That is a big concern. The car he is driving will run out of gas. I worry for gas station attendants. Or, he will hijack another vehicle, and perhaps another innocent driver hurt. I don't know why the helicopters are not having more luck locating him.

Just heard that the car that was found might not be the car the perp took. They are not sure.

Heard they are not sure if the car they found is the one they were looking for - according to Fox

If it's true that it is a woman, we have one more example in this horrible story of PC-run-amok. So sad.

CNN taking local news.

Female deputy shot in courtroom is ALIVE. She was shot in the mouth with her own gun.

The deputy shot outside the courtroom was shot and killed.

The female deputy is in surgery and is expected to live.

All I'm saying is that everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don't necessarily agree with her, but I believe she has the right to say it. As much as I dislike Hillary, I do believe sometime in her life she has probably done some good.

I'm really confused. The deputy whose gun was taken was shot in the head and died enroute to the hospital or at the hospital. He was not a she.

Who's this woman?

What girlfriend? What's that angle? I had to get to work, and only followed until about 11:45. I need an update because I have family in the TowneLake area, north of Atlanta. Specifically I am concerned about 2 nieces in school there.
