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 won't pile on her, either. It's not her fault, it's the shooter's fault that people are dead. He chose to do what he did.

WB:) Anyone have a clue where this guy is? We just heard your pal Howard on Dan Abrams say that Gayle Abramson had received a death threat via telephone from Nichols. Not sure how they can be sure it was from him..sounds like a wanna-be..

You said it better than I could,,this is worse than and ordinary murder to all of us. Neither is insignificant but this is horrendous.

I understand that about 4:30 pm there were about 20 state patrol cruisers up and down Clarendon Drive in Avondale Estates. This guy could be anywhere from Avondale Estates to Houstong by now.

Killjoy!

There are conflicting reports about what happened in that cell. One of them, which I don't believe, said that she and the prepetrator struggled for a
few minutes.
I don't think we're ever going to know what actually happened -- except that she broke procedure, leaving herself vulnerable to attack and consequently lost her weapon to Nichols.

But a Glock is a great equalizer Apparently not always. How many times do you want to risk this scenario so girls can continue to roar?

LOL,,I am making hubby's list as I speak and he is still at work. He obeys me too. If he doesn't want to, he falls asleep on the couch and looks so pitiful that I can't wake him.
To: tiredoflaundry
If he is caught alive, who da heck would defend him? Nobody in their right mind could.

Hello,
Exactly. I have been thinking all day that the way this went down seemed like a plan. However, in this plan, the perp killed the court reporter. Why? The judge makes sense, the cops make sense (given the situation and his mindset), the court reporter makes no sense. What threat did she pose to him? I think that he has a list of those that have "harmed" him and in his twisted brain, he included the court reporter. Also, I think that there are others that he will target. I doubt that he has left the area.
He just bought himself the death penalty, he has nothing to lose. Once I heard that he had (as reported) called to threaten someone else, I realized that he is on a mission.
Glad to be here, (stay safe, everyone!), MOgirl

His pic is all over the net.
Black, medium complexion {this has caused all sorts of troubles so don't get into it}. He is tall, over 6 feet and has a really mean eyed look but is otheerwise pretty ordinary looking.
To: mhking
Is there any indication he may still be in downtown?

They have said he is from a "nice family".
Anybody know who they are and what that means?
To: MOgirl
Heard Ronnie Reagan say he "may" get the death penalty.
Ronnie must not get to Georgia often
