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.

Keep in mind that this could have happened in any courthouse in any city, it's not a reflection on Atlanta.

What people won't do to get on television. Celebrity worship is becoming a problem, imo.

The perp is car-jacking vehicles at gunpoint! Has taken three maybe more cars. This guy is psycho, I hope people get off the streets and don't end up being victims also.
Two sheriff's deputies shot, court reporter shot, those three in hospital. Judge Barns shot and deceased

WSB-TV now reporting a green Ford Escape or Mazda Tribute was the first vehicle he 'jacked from the parking deck.
Channel 2 NewsChopper reporting APD looking for 1997 green Honda Accord, looking between downtown Atlanta and 17th Street in Midtown.

No. He cannot be black. All reputable talking head experts tell us that massacres are done by pudgy, middle-aged conservative white guys with NRA bumper stickers on their cars.
My first thought was --- they need to issue a Chief Moose Alert [2 white guys in a white van].

How much you want to bet the murderer is a Juvenile!! Remember juveniles can go on a rampage, kill scores of folks and as HARSH punishment spend the rest of their lives in prison instead of the gas chamber!! Thanks to the Supreme Court...pretty darn sad! No bet. But it would be appropriate, in it's own sick way, if the Robes lost one of their own due to their insane decisions..

Another massive security failure in the corrupt "Patronism First" Atlanta/FC system. Didn't learn a thing from the Olympic Park Bombing/911 fiasco.

Oh my gosh. Amazing that he was on trial and was able to get the deputy's gun. Don't they get brought into the courtroom in restraints anymore?
