Fulton Co. Judge shot and killed in courthouse shooting (BREAKING Fri 9A)

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.

Kind of, almost, sort of, caught up with the thread.
Your reply was scary. BE CAREFUL! This crazy really could be anywhere. He could have taken a car with a hostage and no one knows the plate #.

The .40S&W is no wimp.
I always liked the 10mm (two Delta Elites and one Auto Ordnace). I could never tell they recoiled any harder than a regular .45, although they were supposed to be terrible.
At one time the .40 looked like it was going to take over the cop market but seems to be fading a little.

I drove out to Douglasville (about 15 miles west of town) on I-20 just now; I noticed multiple Douglas County cops on each of the ramps as we drove westbound...

Agreed! Here's hoping all Atlanta area freepers stay safe, keep their eyes open and by all means do not try and stop this guy yourselves if you are unarmed.

Defense attorneys make lots of grand public statements. I take them all with a barrel of salt.
If a deputy found a shank on a defendant, he might withold that information from the judge.
But for this defense lawyer to make the statement he made, he would have to know about every incident in which a deputy found a weapon on a defendant and said nothing about it. That's impossible, isn't it?

WSB-TV is showing the Windy Hill/I-75 area from the air. There's tons of GA State Patrol vehicles in that area. I'm wondering if this guy is hanging out on one of the surface highways/streets to get out of town...

Just a query...but do you or any have an opinion as to why it is being reported that this might be a planned escape.
To: mhking

...do not try and stop this guy yourselves if you are unarmed.On the other hand, if you're sure it is him, and you are properly armed, blast away.

Its just scary because who knows what car he's in or where he's going!
Our sheriff is on standby with extra deputies called in, and we are 60 miles east.

If the dude grew up in this part of the country he'll know backroads.IMHO he will wait until dark to move.Though I'm tending to look over my shoulder sitting here.

Hot pursuit reported earlier appears to be premature. Bottom of the hour aerial shots show police cars at every on ramp and off ramp and on various median strips. No obvious target in anyone's viewfinder.
