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.

OMG! That's why that deputy on Fox News was so upset that he could barely talk! He said they were waiting for family members to arrive.
God Bless them all. That is so sad.

No but since FNC gave the carjacking victim's name, I thought I'd post it.

Something else I noticed about the coverage of this incident...
I just posted recently about how I think women should not be allowed any where near a combat zone.
Along those same lines (since being an EMT is as close as you can get in the civilian world to being a corpsman or medic on the battlefield), I just saw some coverage of the ATL shooting that showed a female EMT that was trying her best to get the wounded sheriff's deputy and the gurney he was on, up into the ambulance.
HER BEST WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
She was wasting precious seconds that could cost this deputy, or others in other cases, his life. As often HAS to happen, a male stepped in and got the man and gurney up into the ambulance.
Other than this "small" problem, she can probably do her job very well. BUT... if she can't get a victim up into the ambulance, which is a prerequisite for getting the victim to a hospital where his/her life can be saved, WHAT THE HELL, other than political correctness, IS SHE DOING IN THIS JOB?
I have seen MANY instances of this in both military and civilian settings, and it is TOTALLY UNSAT.

Thanks for the info, Mr. King.
At least I'll have one more excuse to avoid jury service . . .
