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've been on 285 a few times--'high speed' and '285' are mutually exclusive.

They better catch him soon, or the evening commute is going to be horrendous.

From your lips to God's ears.

Brilliant - unlawful for us to pump gas. I love it. And, change tires. (Actually, I KNOW how to change a tire - I just DON'T! That's my husband's job, when needed.)

Laz, usually I enjoy your remarks, but today IMO your flippancy is inappropriate on this particular thread.

I'm half-and-halfing it. Some of my comments are cutups, but others are serious.

It's mostly when RoseofTexas lost it, that I couldn't resist jumping on the Aggravate-Rose bandwagon.

Whenever something like this happens, my heart breaks for the families. All of us can draw on that one split second in our lives when our lives changed forever.
Five (?) families in our city whose lives have just been turned upside down.

>Supposedly five shots fired, per eye witness. Doesn't that mean he'll be out of ammo after another shot?

WAGA: One of the two deputies taken to Grady Hospital is dead. This makes FOUR dead.

Probably the poor guy who was forced to wait PRECIOUS, LIFE-THREATENING SECONDS to see if the female EMT could ACTUALLY DO HER JOB WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF A MALE.

Sorry, but an EMT crew of two females just can't always hack it when the severely injured victims need them to.

THIS time, at least, luckily, there was an able-bodied male at hand to get the job done.

Unfortunately, it appears that it didn't happen quick enough for this, now deceased, deputy.

Yeah, it's almost been 2 hours since all this started. He could be anywhere in the region by now.

How he got off 4-5 shots and hit four people is beyond me, and then be allowed to get out of the courtroom and building to boot.

Hard criminals train for this type of thing in prision, seriously! When the famous leader of the Crips was asked about prision, he refered to it a "Gladiator Training" as well. If they have nothing to lose, this is the result, their legacy to the world and the direct result of the revolving door in-justice system.

On my rare visits to Atlanta from our dirt road in Alabama, we'd marvel at the speeds being traveled. It's possible we just hit it on a good day. I'd be doing 70 and folks were passing me like I was parked on the side of the road. Even my children quieted down without having to be told.
