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'll sleep better tonight knowing that is the case. Shooting him dead will serve as a "lesson" to other animals following his path.

Seems like there were other around to help her lift... since when does an ambulance go out with 1 person?

I saw one other female up in the ambulance at some point, but she appeared to be in a different uniform.

The only thing I can think of is if the court reporter tried to subdue the gunman...

Or, he simply shot the person in order to demonstrate he meant business, and frighten everyone else away?

Has the press conference started?

The school guy is saying for parents NOT to come and pick up their kids, that THEY will take care of them.

Make that the right thing at the inopportune time.

You are defending your statement of approval that a judge was shot and killed?!

What scum. I hope he resists arrest but there aren't any other injuries.

Frankly, I can't believe we've gotten to over 1000 posts without somebody jumping on this thread and saying it's because Bush won't close the borders.

Well, unless this guy is an illegal alien from Africa or some island or anywhere in the world it really would not make any sense to throw that in in this case.....not hard for people to recognize that fact. But trying to shut up the argument down before it has started down with pc garbage so that is will never be discussed, when there is an illegal problem, is just wrong.

Towne Lake is in Cherokee County. Unless this guy takes a turn west (he was last seen in Sandy Springs - North) you need not worry.

Read the statement. Given the outrageousness of the judicial system, please note that I said "IF" not "IS".

He'll likely live if caught in Fulton, Clayton or Dekalb. I'd give him 50-50 in Cobb or Gwinette (spelling?). Elsewhere in Georgia, I'd bet against a trial.

Yeah doesnt stand a chance if caught in Cobb or Gwinnett. He'd better hope he doesn't end up in Forysth County.

He did shoot a Fulton County deputy though, so I don't think he will live very long in Fulton either.
