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.

Some of the stations have copters up, but they look like they're still over the courthouse area. Where law enforcement copters are is anyone's guess.

WGCL is speculating about what kind of gun was stolen, and is zooming in on deputies' belts, thinking he could have a Glock.

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 wrong. If the guy died, then his injuries were just too serious. There are some things that Dr.'s can not fix unless they are right on top of the person when the shooting happens, and even then there are a lot of limits. You will hear from Emergency Doc's that there is an amazing lot that they can DO to people and sometimes precious little they can do FOR them.
To jump to the conclusion that it was the fault of the female EMT's is not only short-sighted and bigoted, it is ignorance. You have no idea what the injuries were to the person, not to mention the possible survivablity of those injuries vs. time from injury.

Well with a the lack of control with his anger you think he was guilty of the crime he was in court for.
With not knowing anything about the case I would guess blindly that he was.
Geez I wonder if the victem to the rape was in the courtroom, yikes imagine the fear his murderous rampage put in her if she was there.
I'd be shaking like a leaf and scared to go home while he is on the loose.

Perp may be heading for Sandy Springs area.Oh, snap!
Sandy Springs is relatively quiet, peaceful, and the general populace there is NOT ready for this sort of guy.
OTOH, Cobb County police don't play.

No choppers following the perp yet... They don't even know for sure what kind of car he's driving.
